Midwest voters only please - Omaha, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Cleveland, St. Louis, Minneapolis, etc. I'm creeping up on 3 year anniversary with my company after being hired out of school. Curious what other developers in the area make with similar experience level.
glassdoor.com is going to have infinitely better data than Blind.
FWIW, midwesterner here (Cincinnati). 20 year vet. Hired at least 30 people in that time. Never approved a 6 figure offer. Not even at 7+ years of experience.
What industry are you in?
I did most of my hiring while in banking. Primarily building back office systems that made your direct deposit show up on payday. BofA, so not a tiny firm. No longer there. I don't hire anyone now. Just draw clouds, boxes and arrows through them.
120k for a senior programmer in mpls area. But I think you may need more years under your belt
I make $150K as a fresh grad out of college in Detroit with 2yr prior exp..
Wisconsinite here. When I was at 3-5 years tenure, I was in 120-140 range. Now at 7 yrs, and in 150-160 range.
Is that TC or base pay?
Base. We don't have such high bonuses or stocks (because we are private company) like other folks mention in Blind. Instead of stocks, we have very limited restricted stocks (from each year's issue, return will be around 10-20k after 10 years), and around 10k Christmas bonus.
The actual type of developer is important. Front-end via back-end via mobile via blockchain etc. Compensation will vary greatly between type of dev.
Define your area better. Midwest could mean Chicago or could mean rural south Dakota.
Aren't they both in the Midwest?
Yes but you will never get paid 100k without being a director in rural Midwest. But mid level devs can in Chicago pretty easy
