- Joeri 14y agoFinance is a bad example because the traders that software replaces make an order of magnitude more than median wage. So, the software deeloper in finance could be underpaid making an order of magnitude above median.
- nilkn 14y agoWhere are these developers at, and do they have decent working conditions and hours? $450k may not sound so glamorous if you work 80 hours a week in a hell hole. I looked at Jane Street in college but it seems they start their developers at $100k with no bonus, i.e., less than Google, Facebook, etc., even though Manhattan is even more expensive than the Valley.
