Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.
(www.nytimes.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
My first tech job out of college was $55k.
Average in my area for new grads at best is like $85k.
My highest paying was $195k as a Senior and my average is probably $150k as a Senior / Lead.
None of this was big tech though.
Yeah, I'm more-or-less the same. Outside of Silicon Valley, Seattle, and a few other big metros, tech pay is good, but not amazing. I know what I'd have to do to get $200k+, but I'm unwilling to (crazy hours, move to SF, etc).
Yeah I made $51k out of college.
My first software job I made $68k? Granted Im at $150k after all that time, but still. Dang yo you know?
