Are you all extremely underpaid or something? Or how are new grads getting so much in a down market? I'm decently experienced saw lots of relatively low paying jobs in general
- Zambyte 3y agoWhat market is down?
- suzakus 3y agoThe regular software engineering market is very rough to get jobs in right now, particularly at lower levels of experience
- mooreds 3y agoAgreed. This is in line with experience of friends (Metro Denver, USA). Even senior folks are having a harder time than in the past few years.
- vundercind 3y agoLow to mid experience and trying to land FAANG-alike or finance jobs, I think. The “merely” 1.5-3x median household income comp range sure seems to have remained healthy, even for newbies.
- dragon-hn 3y agoThe company puts A LOT of effort into its program for hiring new grads. But is horribly inept when it comes to providing a career path for individual contributors. So unless you manage to get a promotion to a senior IC position (like me), your compensation stagnates.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 3y agoApparently I'm underpaid lol, someone upthread says "Friend getting paid $200k more than me" and I've never been paid $200k in my life
- vundercind 3y agoOnly a very small proportion of developers make enough that they can be making what must have been north of $200k and still have another $200k difference in comp vs a peer. Low side of single-digit percentage. And I’m talking the US only, not globally.
