So still way below than $240k, no?
> So you'd be in the top 30% of earners making that kind of money, not the top 10%.
Maybe you missed it but I actually wrote "10-20%".
Also in 2024 earning $100k puts you in the top 20% of the US population.

(which is already way above even the EU for dev salaries)
- vel0city 1y agoYou dropped off the "non" part of that. It's the non-Unicorn software companies easily paying $120k for a seasoned software developer in the US. Also, I noticed where our sources diverged. I was looking at household income. My bad. > which is already way above even the EU for dev salaries Maybe they're underpaid. Either way, I was responding to the idea that only a FAANG salary would cost an employer $20k/mo. For US software developer jobs, it can easily hit that without being in FAANG-tier or unicorn startup level companies. Tons of mid-sized low-key software companies you've never heard of pay $120k+ for software devs in the US. The median software developer in Texas makes >$130k/yr. Think that's all just Facebook and Apple and silicon valley VC funded startup software devs? Similar story in Ohio, is that a place loaded with unicorn software startups? Those median salaries in those markets probably cost their employer around $20k/mo. https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Senior-Software-Engineer-Salary--in-Texas https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Senior-Software-Engine... https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Senior-Software-Engineer-Salary--in-Ohio https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Senior-Software-Engine...
