“Also, newly minted developers making 80-100K? Nice thought, but that ain’t the truth either”

Could be in San Fran, but adjusted to cost of living, that equates to about $40k-$50k in Peoria... which is about right for a recent grad.

yeah, 40-50K might even be a little high, for someone just starting out. But it's a little more in the realm of plausibility.

Are salaries really doubled in SF? I was travelling out there for work in '99 and 2000.....there was a TON of money out there back then. But it was also during the dotcom boom, too, so my experience isn't really accurate.

I get a lot of work from CA where they have to pay 100/hr for senior level engineers through a contract agency... (or more)

They can contract with me for $50K less (annually) and I am more than happy to get it. I am turnign stuff away, because I can’t work more than 16 hours a day
