unless you're living in a low cost third world country, 34k after 13 years of experience is depressingly low and you're being grossly underpaid.

- ryanmercer 7y ago>you're being grossly underpaid. I'm making 62% of my state's -household- median income. This is the problem with HN, everyone thinks that everyone in America makes 100-200k. Minimum wage is 7.25 and there are TONS of minimum wage workers.
- notfromhere 7y agoMedian full-time salary is between 40k for females and 51k for males. You're being underpaid for 13 years experience, especially if you're working in tech. No one assumes everyone makes 100-200k, but since most people here work in tech of some sort, 34k is unheard of.
