Furthermore, depending on a number of factors, $60k is not a legal wage for a salaried software engineer in California. The minimum for an exempt employee as of 1 Jan 2015 is now $41.27 hourly, $7,165.12 per month, or an annual salary of not less than $85,981.40 for full time, overtime exempt employment [1]. Let me say that again for anyone working in CA in software as a salaried, overtime exempt employee: If you make less than $85,981.40 a year and cannot collect overtime, your employer is not paying you a legal wage in California. You should do some research and consider contacting a labor lawyer. Edit: [1] https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/LC515-5.pdf https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/LC515-5.pdf
