Be careful what you wish for.
This is the norm in Japan. Students are hired out of college. They often actually have no real programming experience but based on their major they are hired into an engineering track.
Programmers in Japan start at $20k-$25k a year. Many famous Japanese companies have limits set by HR of $60k a year for a programmer regardless of experience.
I'm not saying that's the result you'll get but at least in Japanese culture the fact that the company trained you is at least one small part of feeling an obligation to stay on and that fact the so few people switch jobs is yet another reason salaries don't rise here.
- ksec 8y agoAgain, are these total earning? in USD? Because many companies (especially in US ) have performance bonus, stock etc... where their actual "yearly" earning is way higher. And just to make it clear, The difference between a junior Dev and Super Senior Dev is only 3x? ( I am still baffled by how widely different the dev salary are in different region )
- Matthias247 8y agoIn most countries and companies of the world programmers are not paid any bonuses, and even less so RSUs. It's mostly just a base salary. And yes, the differences might be normal. In germany it's even less. One might get around 50k€ fresh from university. But there will be far less than 1% of roles which offer a compensation of >= 100k. At least in engineering, management is different.
- ksec 8y agoYes in most countries, but most ( English ) article are written from a American perspective. And they have lots of different way calculating their earnings.
