Hi everyone, is $100k at Madison, WI a good salary for 2 yoe and new master’s grad? Please advise. #software #engineering #swe ##
Yeah it’s good money in midwest. Only a few companies like Epic would pay that well.
Great salary in the Midwest, especially for only 2 YOE.
Yes, but you could and should be making more. Many in the Midwest make 200k+. The cost of living in the Midwest is actually higher than the coast. We in the Midwest have GOP leaders. Hell, I had to live though Mike Pence as my Governor!?!? So the Midwest has a much higher cost of living, due to small government GOP “leadership.” It cost more to travel, to do things, etc. So, ask for more. Higher skilled people in the Midwest are RARE, they (employers) have to get the work done—so ask for MORE. Lots of companies in the Midwest can pay 200K+ TC. Get greedy.
Is this a real comment? It sounds like trumps stream of consciousness
It is really the case. I know several SQL experts getting 400k TC in Google Cloud. Google is paying a lot to their top tier employees in Madison, WI. Even at Citi’s Chicago suburbs office almost everyone makes close to ~165-175k.
My TC is 160k in the Midwest with 4 YOE. It’s possible to get more for sure.
I'm looking to relocate. Can you share your region?
It is real. Us red state folks have a way higher cost of living. Look at Pence’s dumb ass leadership—now imagine guys like him running your state! So, yeah—I’m right, we Midwesterners have a WAY higher cost of living than you folks on the coast. We pay the same for cars, clothes, food, etc. we pay a lot now for homes, we pay more for educations, etc. I said, I meant it—and I’m 100% right. Ask for more money—you’ll get it.
