Everything is relative of course, but can you back up your claim with some numbers?
Where do you live? What salaries and compensation packages are you seeing?

- ta32627888 7y ago> The specific technologies that developers use also impact salary. This year, the technologies most associated with high salary include Go, Scala, Redis, and React. Surprised me seeing Scala in there, thought it was basically dead now. My last experience with seeing it in a codebase and using (or trying to use) SBT, I was kind of hoping it was.

- blackrock 7y agoIf you had your choice, would you do something else? Like being in finance or becoming a dentist?
- rowathray 7y agoYeah. A coworker went back to school and got a finance MBA from a third rate school, and already makes more money than a programmer managing a team of analysts, and he only has to know whatever script Excel uses, not a million trendy pointless languages.
