Hi guys, I have a query regarding the programming jobs available in the market. I am taking a java course through consultancy. How is the real job/work look like in the company? I mean how tough is it to work. You gotta be pro in programming or just basic knowledge is enough to start off. What are chances of getting fired? How much do they make a year? The reason i'm asking this is I make $60k/year. Is it gonna be higher or lower than my income?
Anyone want to share their experiences is highly appreciated.
Thank you

Seriously? You think people will work for a company for 90k after having >10 years experience. Not trying to brag about it but I was getting paid more than that while I had only <3 years of experience several years back( with real credentials).

And about your second point... that's true company will assign different title to developer to motivate you as promotion. They give you title like Senior Analyst, Software Engineer III, Senior Programmer analyst, Lead developer etc. but end of the day all are developers. Few will go for architect or Dev team manager but everyone cannot be manager. For most of the company I have worked at, we had roughly 50% developer with 8 or more years of experience.
What do you think all the developer do after they have more than 10 years experience?

Why is this dude here posting when is making over 200k???

I am also working in IT field for more than 3.5 years and have close friends who have almost 10 years of experience or more than that in my company. Also, I have more than 10 indian friends where most of them have around 10 years of experience and they make from 90-95K to 105-120K. Not only that, I have friends with JAVA experience of 10+ years and they are white and still makes around 100K. I know some places on Bay Area, SFO or NY makes around 140K-160K. But Saying easy or average of 200K is exaggerate. I live in California but not in Bay Area or SFO area.
Its my personal opinion and seeing other people and hearing from friends. No Objection to those who make 200K. Cheers to those who makes that much. :)

come to Google, i assure you, you would be paid 200k+

No problem Zoom bro, if you need any help in future, inbox me. Don't think about how much salary you'll make right now, money will come with your hard work.
And for all negative commentator up there, you all should know how to motivate a person who is asking for constructive suggestion.

that was not for you
जाठो was for
user01 and kalipopoi... :P

Sojoketo,
I can show you my paystub if you want to see. It is in Washington DC, Federal project.
Do you mean to say, Java developers can make 210K, not .NET developers?

Hey NepaliBudho,
How can I reach you?

R u looking for job in .Net? What's ur background?

neplibudo
really!! really!!
plzzzzz...give us a break..
why don't you post your paystub on sajha removing all the person information?
seriously, i would change my platform to .net.

Its not like all .NET developers will make 200k. It depends on 3 things, your luck, talent and company. There are some java/c/python developers who makes that much and there are some .NET people with less than 100k. NepaliBudho got the right opportunity at right time, not everyone gets it.

nope,
there ain't any company that pays 200K in washington dc for developers.
I have scanned all the companies. Negative result.
If you are holding position like architect, manager or you are a shareholder of the company, then it is possible.
Khusket Nepali budo ko waiyat kura nasunda nai thik hucha hai sathi bhai haru.

sojoketo,
How much does a Lead developer or architech make in washington DC if he/she has over 10 years of experience?

120k to 160k max
don't count contractual rate!

200k for 4 yr. Experience in dot net ? R u serious? That's the sal range of senior architect with 12+ years of experience .
