- jcun4128 6y ago4 people? That's nuts I was making that washing plates as a single person no dependents. I think maybe less actually after taxes.
- MattGaiser 6y agoYou were probably making that in California though, not WV or SC. Houses are less than a year of developer pay there.
- jcun4128 6y agoI was in KS and I was just paid "highly" eg. $12+/hr although I was multi-role edit: maybe less was making $11-12/hr and not full time, my math was off. I was freelancing on the side though before I got into the industry but yeah $20K range was my figure at that time eg. just over 3 years ago(it did suck, I was mad broke still am but working on it).
