It really depends on where you live. Our headquarters is in a low cost of living area, so 80-120 would be a reasonable guesstimate. Folks who work in the DC Metro area probably make a good bit more than that. I'm not actually involved

So I can only speak for myself, but I've been exclusively working in low level C type work for the last 9 years. Think embedded, kernel dev, reverse engineering, etc. type stuff. I'm good enough at it, but hardly an expert. I can&
