If C# is already too complex for 9 to 5 developers, how does it earn more than a C++ developer?! The mind boggles.

- pjmlp 12y agoIn which company?! Usually it is C++ > Java > C# > VB.NET > .... in the Fortune 500 world set I work on. Not to mention the C++ salary rates in High Performance Finance and High Performance Computing in general. I doubt any C# developer would get those rates.
- 72deluxe 12y agoHere in the UK I see jobs being advertised in Birmingham for big money for C# but C++ is always lower. It is a pity. I did do some C# work but preferred writing C++ hence I do it as a day job now (and a sideline for fun too!). Even Java jobs are offered for more than C++.
- pjmlp 12y agoThanks for the clarification, what about London (city)? Clearly not all places are equal. :) I did C++ for many years, was on the C++ side since day one on the C vs C++ wars, since 1993. Nowadays mostly Java, C# on the job. C++, among others, mostly on hobby projects. Given my Turbo Pascal initial background I still prefer more memory safe systems languages though. Although modern C++ surely feels good.
- 72deluxe 12y agoI do not know about London but I suspect they are significantly higher, but then so are the living costs and commute time / stress. Ideally, a "work from home" remote job would suit me where I get to write C++ all day. Know anyone offering such a delight? What hobby projects do you write? I am working on a scheduling system.
