An actual sincere attempt at answering your question instead of sharing personal salary progression: 5 yoe - 75-100k 10 yoe - 90 to 125k 20 yoe - 125 to 175k 30 yoe - 150 to 200k https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/zck308/what_does_the_very_normal_very_average_salary/ ---------------------------------------------- For me I am at TC 200 at 4 yoe
$1M at 4 yoe
@Confluent, mind referring?
I would do a different profession if those numbers were real
They're pretty real. 150k-200k in LCOL is good. Same thing as 350k-450k in SF or NYC.
Man 20 YOE to get to 150-200? I get 250k for 4
That’s much closer to the average Blind does not represent the average SWE by far
Those people also tend to be one or more of the following: - early career/trying to switch to SWE/no degree - bootcamp grad (react/js chimps) - people in flyover, bum-fuck nowhere LCOL states So it makes sense they think that.
How’s the first different from the second? You sound resentful
It all depends on where they live and what company. 15 yoe. 115toc. No stock. All data should be caveated with the relevant variables like tech stack, company size, company type, geographic region, etc
Reddit is loser central.
If I made those numbers I would just go into another industry where I don't have to be oncall and work during nights and weekends
Reddit is like a sticky bug trap but for intellectual midwits. The real idiots and high IQs are here on blind. Best that the majority just assumes swes makes 35k/yr.
Reddit is filled with dumb losers
cscareerquestions is full of losers
Cscareerquestions is literally the opposite of blind
Cscareerquestions is full of p*ssies that delude themselves into thinking they can't make more, they have zero self respect and never fight for themselves
