lies. Post proofs. No ones going to pay some useless equation-solving NEET who goes on Sup Forums to brag about his job

...

Is web dev salary all down to where you live? I've got 6 years of experience, full stack, multiple languages, worked on high tier teams, yet I still find it hard to get more than 40k. Managers don't seem to believe that web/software dev is worth all that much. I know glorified secretaries that make 30k more than me

Has its ups and downs. Going to get a lot better once my manager retires next year though. I hate doing phone calls, but I like getting my hands on hardware and fixing computers. My work is stingy and until a computer croaks or the os the case has a licence for isn't supported by windows anymore they like you keep them out in the field.
>do you think you are underpaid
Maybe. Going to take my CCNA soon and hopefully get a comfy sysadmin job soon.

Yay! Finally Sup Forums became a Rebbit! Have a gold, OP! :3

What is a reasonable starting salary for someone with ample experience but no degree? I live in Chicago. I am not accepting anything less than 60k. Am hoping to shoot for 70 - 75k. Is this reasonable? Also, any salary negotiation tips?

the kids are well behaved and the time flies while teaching them. i don't have competition in my area so they keep coming even if i slack and forget stuff. i have to get back to college eventually before i hit 40, but i am enjoying life right now at 27. i live in my parent's "basement" (ground floor so not really), they cook and feed me, they even bought me a car in hopes i get out of the house and find a job. they are happy i can teach people and look like a normal person. i am not in a rush to do anything as we all gonna die anyway. however i don't want to die alone or poor so as i said i will go back to school and maybe marry some ugly chick or someone from a third world country.

Working only 3 or 4 days a week would be really nice. Isn't Zurich or Switzerland in general really expensive though?

Hey computers engineers of Sup Forums. I'm a lazy cunt that should be in the third year but is a sophomore and is probably going to finish the career 2 years later than expected (the career is expected to get finished in 4 years). Do you think ill have trouble to get a job whenever i finish the career (or in my last year)?

get an internship and start networking.

Ditto. Just be diligent with your studies (if you feel that they will care about your GPA), keep working, reach out to people, hope for the best.

Shouldn't be hard to get an IT job if you look competent enough.

>>do you think you are underpaid
No. I could be earning more but I live very comfortably relative to the area. I drive a car from 2011 and live on energy drinks and ramen noodles and no gf so I have a lot of money to toss at Sup Forums related gadgets I don't need.

Atlanta

Data Engineering (basically data warehousing + software development + operations work)

65k base salary as junior, ~96k total compensation
- insurance paid for everything but small copays
- 6% 401k match, I pay 12%, end of year bonus for 401k this year was 19%
- quarterly 2% cash bonuses, end of year bonus of 10%

0 experience except some help desk before I started, bunch of self taught experience, BS in IT, and a year of masters.

Yes, work is fun, the office is great, coworkers are great, low stress environment. Best part is team is small (just me, one senior guy, and one new guy that we've been training) so I get to engineer a lot of our solutions and define our processes despite being a junior. I get to make a big impact. Our team interacts with practically the entire company, even if you work support, you interact with our services somehow which makes work interesting. That and I don't have to drive to work, I live next door so that lops off a huge amount of stress from my life off the bat.

No, I think I'm paid well for a junior. End of year typical bonus is 5-7%, I'll get promoted here in a couple months which is another 5-7%. I just want to get to ~85-90k/yr, at that point I don't really care anymore what my pay is as I'll be resistant to things that scare me the most like skyrocketing rent.

Kitchen help 61k EUR? What the actual Fuck?

Complete underpaid man.

Yeah I know but in a way it isn’t, I have it set up where I have rent and bills payed by an external beneficiary.
So it’s basically disposable income.

I pretty much use it on software plugins, and high end hardware essentials

Again I don’t find value in money whatsoever. I could literally care less about income, I am just happy where I am atm

Short staffed as fuck and spread thin. So yes.

Here's what I don't get, in the US, RN pay is about the same or a bit less. Yet the hospital admins all say that if we ever got single payer in this country everybody's pay will be cut in half. Everyone acts like the hospital is on the brink of going bankrupt and we can't afford anything etc. How the fuck is Canada able to afford shit? Canadians who make less than $100k/year aren't even paying that much more in taxes compared to the US. It's fucked up.

Well how staffed are your hospitals? Ours are seriously seriously under staffed. 1 nurse should not have 7 total care patients with 10 meds who cant even move. But ive seen it happen on med/surg floors.

About US taxes though, its ridiculous that you pay so much in salary tax but dont get shit for it. Our income taxes really arent far off from yours. Maybe 5% higher when you look at the individual brackets for a lot more socialized programs in return.

Red teaming sounds fun, how come you don't like it?

where'd you go to school

did you have an internship at all? I'm about to graduate from UW with cs but dont have one. Considering one this summer, but I'll be done with school so idk

I didn't have the chance to make companies compete offers before I had to make a decision to join one. If I had the time to interview, I probably could've gotten a bit more.

0.01% doing cool tech shit, %99.99 Reporting and presenting the report to clients who aren't gonna implement anything.

Sure it sounds cool to the average Mr Robot idiot, but in real life is mundane work. You info gather, scan, exploit, repeat. Then report. Red teaming is same shit as a pentest only deeper and more orchestrated. And because of that the paperwork is BIGGER. I'm working government side so, paperwork is bigger than private sector, plus you have to get through so many clearances and authorizations just to get a scan going. Then coordinate with all of them to sign off

Time sink, boring, makes you want to kill yourself when you're writing reports to policy makers, then another report to the IT team, plus slideshows for each.

A no-name mid-west state university (graduating with ~$3500 in student loans). I had an internship at one of the top 4 tech companies and took their return offer before I had time to make other companies compete with it.

I worked through CS50X and got some interview coaching on the state's dime. Got my first job by showing off projects at interviews on my laptop. Was severely underpaid but got experience. Built up a LinkedIn account and connected with any and all recruiters that messaged me. At 11 months I emailed all of them with a salary requirement and my skills list, and now I'm making real money.

Just apply everywhere man. I applied to intern at over 100 places my junior year and just took the best offer. You should be applying and interviewing everywhere until you graduate. Considering you live in Seattle, you're extremely lucky to have Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and a ton of other tech companies at your doorstep to interview at. Once you get a few offers from all those companies, tell them about the offers you got (don't lie), and they'll pay you more.

This is all assuming you're worth hiring, though.

What's a decent entry level DevOps engineer salary? I'm applying to jobs out of uni currently and don't know what my ballpark should be. Based in Boston fwiw

yeah I've gotten through a few interviews but never offers from companies in seattle

At this point most places just want to hire me since I'm a senior, so I might try and skip the internship, but on the other hand I know that the bigger companies look for that experience
