That seems totally reasonable (and I don’t see your sharing some experience as bragging).
I guess my point is that high salaries aren’t limited to .NET and Java jobs. I guess I’d also challenge the idea that a Ruby job paying $100k+ doesn’t “pay well” (outside of SV anyway). Fast food doesn’t pay well. Working in the higher levels of tech absolutely does. My very first job was working the drive thru at a Taco Bell, and it still blows my mind when I think about how much I make now... (also not bragging, just trying to add some perspective).
- scarface74 8y agoIt’s not just about pay. For instance, I could go into management. There are a lot of reason I don’t want to. But one reason is that managers seem to get “stuck”. It’s not as easy to leave because there aren’t as many jobs for managers and if you are forced to leave, it takes longer to get a job. I can have another C#/Java/NodeJS job within two weeks (if I was qualified).
