- kzisme 11y agoRealistically, how much do junior/entry level position developers make? I'm a senior and graduating in the Spring.
- mod 11y agoVaries wildly with where you're located, how employable you are, what kind of job you seek, etc. 35-80k
- kzisme 11y agoFor reference, currently located in the mid-west, but considering moving as well.
- mkaziz 11y agoI got offered 60k-65k as a web dev at three different companies in Chicagoland. 2 were C# consulting shops, a third was an android/ios dev shop. This was 2 years ago now.
- omouse 11y agoI'm sure the salary range is still around that point; there's definitely a salary barrier that is hard to climb over. In Canada for example if you make past 80k you must be a rockstar and a senior dev. The value generated to compensation ratio is out of whack except at a few top tier companies.
- organsnyder 11y agoI've been told by a well-informed source that the median salary for a developer in my town (Grand Rapids, MI) is around $82k. We have a huge shortage of talent here—though, unfortunately, many shops seem to be only willing to consider senior devs.
