Salary Dellema

Hi to all my fellow C# peeps out there, i have a question regarding profession and compensation. What should a C# developer with 5+ years experience, that holds 2 diplomas (internationally) in software engineering with a thorough understanding of all language aspects , ORM, Reflection, systems integration, biometrics , serial devices, robotics, Multithreading ASP.NET MVC ect expect to earn. I know the result should be different depending on the area, and what the job should be but any takers give an amount and basic job descripion it should give me a baseline of what my answer should be. Obviously a experienced developer doing desktop support is not what I am asking. ;P

It really depends on who you are as a person. If you're very good, you can expect to earn more than if you just get by.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Look in the trade magazines for the area where you live to see what salaries are being offered. Given that you are an unknown quantity to any prospective employer (experience counts a little, diplomas generally count for nothing) you can expect to be paid whatever their estimation is of your worth, and how much they need you. I don't know what it's like in SA just now, but here in the UK there are plenty of experienced developers looking for work.

Yes that is usually the big one, though we have a use amount of recruitment agencies out here, thing is they want a copy of your current payslip and then they use that as a basis of the offer their client will give you , which i quite frankly see as unfair. because like you said the job should be worth the work that you put in. Though they do advertise for jobs (in my qualification and experience range) roughly 120% more that i am currently worth. though when the recruiter comes to you they generally seem to want to dangle an extra 10% in front of you. Maybe a change in profession might be in order as I have basically mastered all aspects of my programming language, project management perhaps ?

:thumbsup: I am with you on that one, they try and nail you for every cent your have and that you don't have. It is completely idiotic for someone who is applying for a skilled position to be valuated by someone who most likely haven't even seen a program flowchart in his/her life, best interviews i ever had was when i applied directly to the company and they had an actual programmer i can talk to.

Presumably you mean in terms of skills only. In terms of salary I would expect that a recruiter would have far more knowledge about what might be reasonable both for an employee and an employer.
