How Much Are You Making Per Year?
-
Just curious how much developers are making around the world?. Please specify your country, Years of experience and the amount you make. Im in India, 10 years exp, Making around US$20,000 --------------- Dan Ammasai ---------------
Last year I 'took away with me' just under £12,000, which for my age group (I'm still eighteen) is pretty good for this part of the world. The difference is that I get up at 9 am, stop working at 2 pm, and don't have anywhere near the level of expenses most working people have - thanks mum and dad! - so I can blow nearly half of that on non-essentials. This year it has been a little tougher finding gigs, but as I am drawing to the end of a project I started in November there is a chance that I can find future work with the company and it's partners in the coming months. I hope to have enough spare at the end of the year to be able to hire some people to produce artwork and models for my game (programmers != artistic). If I make enough personally to support a pub crawl once a week I will be happy for a few years yet. Bear in mind it is usually my round... :laugh: One day I may get a propper job with it's own cubicle and little swivelly chair, at the moment though I just want to enjoy myself!

Cape Town, South Africa, 2 years (real) experience, making US$15,600 (in South African Rands that is about R156,000.) If I moved to Jo'Burg (up country) I could easily double it and if I moved to London I could do even better.

I would love to go to SA but I don't know how welcoming people in SA are. Are they as polite as the Americans (If I have to judge on poilteness and courtesy I will rate Americans above anyone else)?

So go on, and indulge yourself, put your feet up. Lean back and just enjoy the articles. After all, CP sooths even the savage :bob:

Who's to say he wasn't working when he was fifteen? But if I added in all my non-commercial experience, it would increase to 18 years (I'm aged 30). :-D ________________________ http://www.webreaper.net

Country: Dallas Texas Experience ? Well that gets complicated. Actually started using "computers" before most of the people on this list was born ( 1965 - US Army Nike/Hercules program ). Amount: Hmmm.. 130000++ Richard Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions....there was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

I was making $72k in San Diego two years ago. I'm now making $65k in San Antonio, Texas. However, there is no state income tax, my house only cost $107k (2-story, 2200 sq ft on .6 acre lot), my registration is on $50 for my truck and $40 for my motorcycle, insurance is about the same as San Diego. If I had bought the same house/lot combo in San Diego, we would be talking $300-450k, along with outrageous property taxes. Registration for my truct would STILL be more than $300/year, and my motorcycle registration would still be over $100. I figure by moving, I'm realizing more net income. Oh yeah, my wife is actually making about $45k (she was making $40k in San Diego). Even with what we were making in San Diego, we could not afford to buy a house that wasn't referred to as a "fixer upper", or that was within 40 miles of our jobs. Last item of note - we're paying lower mortgage payments here than we were for rent in San Diego. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

I was thinking of quitting my programming gig and getting a job as an executioner at a local prison. Sure, it won't pay as well, but the sheer satisfaction of cleaning out the gene pool would be what I consider to be an adequate trade-off (not to mention, it's less stressful than hiding out after doing an armed sweep of the local shopping maul)...

More or less 20K€ (and a car with all expenses paid) in Italy after 8yrs C/C++/C#/asp/sql/java/dos/Win16/Win32/WinCE/.net and also a bit of Visual Basic :) I like my work because I work on projects using a lot of different technologies, even if wages here in Italy are not so high (I could get more money also here but I would have to wear a suit and shave every day :)). A chinese proverb say: "A lucky man can't distinguish work from free time", I think I'm lucky :) But I prefer a cuban proverb that states "hombre que trabaja pierde tempo precioso" (more or lesso: "a men who work is losing his precious time"). -- Looking for a new screen-saver?

Well I got my first job in the industry at 18, so it's knocking on 6 years for that. I got it because I already had "experience" with development though.
