What do consultants with 5 years experience on the JVM in dc working on high-end government projects make? Just curious.
- lukev 16y agoIt varies widely depending on the company, education and other factors, but I've heard of anywhere between 70 and 100k for that experience level. edit - That's salary, by the way, for salaried positions. Billing rate is an entirely different kettle of fish.
- dotBen 16y agoIf you were 18, fresh to the industry and able to relocate, why wouldn't you relocate to the Bay Area - where anyone that can code will probably be able to pull $70k straight out the door.
- crgwbr 16y agoI would honestly love to do that, but with my current savings ($), I simply can't without a job lined up.
- djb_hackernews 16y agobecause 70K in DC will go futher than 70K in the Bay Area. While DC is not cheap, it's not the Bay Area.
