Who has C/C++ experience about 3-4 years with experience with: Win32, MFC, Javascript, and Visual basic inlcuding, HTML, CSS, Java, Open GL, some Perl, some PHP, some assemebly, some directx type api stuff.

Benny is right on. If your 3-4 years experience is work experience (and not "playing" at home), maybe a bit more. You don't start into the serious money until you have several projects under your belt and can demonstrate all of the skills not directly related to writing code (like doing software requirements/design docs, working in a team environment, generating formal test procedures, user documentation and follow up support including program updates and associated paper work). This is especially true for government contracts - a lot more time is spent on the paper work than actual coding. When I stated out (25 yrs ago), I was making about 14K a year. In six years, that figure just about tripled. This was in OS & compiler design and not application programming. Steve

It depends on what type of experience. Usually companies do not like to count hobby programming as years of experience, so unless you can show an employer your practical, full-time experience, they are likely to pass you by. You will have an easier time getting a job with a college degree than without, especially in this economy. With that said, you could probably get a job for about 20 - 25,000 dollars, and once you get a degree, 40 - 50,000 a year.

It would all depend on how much commerical experience you had with each technology. If you had 3-4 years of commercial MFC/WIN32/C++ experience then I'd probably be paying £18k-25k in the current market. A lot would depend on the skillset and experience value to my company.

It depends on the kind of experience. Somebody who knows STL inside out and every nuance of the C++ Standard might be good but if he doesn't have experience of building MFC GUI apps talking to a database then his experience doesn't have much commercial value to my company.
