So I'm curious, what is the wage of a typical employee?

I will start. I work in finance as a developer and I'm taking home 200k base + a variable bonus

It depends on the country. I work for 700 usd per month and that's a high salary where I live.

Junior Developer $41k

You will get better data off glassdoor.com, I imagine.

If you're curious, look on Glassdoor. If you just want to brag, post to HN. :)

I know what most my colleagues make. So when I look on those sites it always seems low. If I wanted to brag I wouldn't use a throwaway. My father did finance his whole life, I've been brought up on it. I'm curious what people make outside my box.

"typical employee"

of whom? Where? Doing what?

At least put some semblance of effort in when writing your next bragpost.

I didnt mean to sound like I was bragging, sorry if it came across like that. I am considering changing industries and want to know what to expect. I was asking very broadly intentionally

80k in NYC. It sucks since I see so little of that (<2k per month) after tax and rent.

Are you hiring, boredeasy?

rprospero2• 12 years ago

If it makes you feel any better, for the last three years, my wife and I saw <2k per month before tax and rent. I'm moving in a few months to get a better job. Still won't be making 80k, though.

Crikey :/

Living in NYC as well? Its hard to find a place under about 1700 in remotely decent commuting distance, in a vaguely safe area that isn't full of roaches.

Not sure this is the place. But always looking for talented python devs.

nycdev3• 12 years ago

I've been using python for 8+ years now (4ish in a professional context), and have also given Python classes to large groups of students at big universities. Can you email me at nycdev@hmamail.com?

I'll reply with my linkedin, blog, resume, etc :D
