There are, at least when they're starting out. There are also those who work for $2,000 / month. Those are pretty much the two ends of the payscale for a junior dev.
- troels 13y agoLet me get that straight. A junior dev can get up to 2K USD? That's a huge span. What determines where one ends up on that scale?
- izolate 13y agoThe way I see it: location, mostly. SF has some of the best salaries for developers. Contrast that to India, where a "good" salary for a full stacker is about $15k per annum(!). Shit's ridiculous.
- troels 13y agoYes, but presumably this was the spread within the same country (India)?
- crucialfelix 13y agoits way worse than that even. some people are living on $1 a day, others are making $100 an hour.
- goblin89 13y ago> others are making $100 an hour Wow! Now that's very good for a junior, isn't it.
- eru 13y ago2K USD per month is rather low for a junior dev in US (or UK).
- troels 13y agoOf course - But you wouldn't see a 1:20 spread between the low and high end of the scale within the same country. Not in "The West" anyway. I suppose it just says something about how diverse a country India is. It still baffles me a bit though.
- eru 13y agoYes. In the west it's probably more like a 1:5 spread.
