A buddy of mine just cracked six figures. He has a degree in development. His degree literally says "programmer analyst".
Even after all that, he didn't hit six figures until many years into his career.
This is more of QA / testing than programming. What title did he start with, how many job changes and what is the current title?
I know TONS of people who went to school for CS but couldn't cut it because they didn't sit down and continue learning and building a portfolio to really be the shining star to land the job they wanted. If you count them the average cs major probably gets paid like 40k or some shit. It's easy to not make it over the bar because you have ADHD, can't keep enough things in your head, don't have the work ethic etc.
Also i'm talking US salaries, not other nations. Not working for non profits, schools, startups etc that are low wages.
You misunderstand. That's what his degree says.
He's been a developer since starting his career. He has no intention of moving to QA.
He's spent a lot of time between colleges and universities and holds several diplomas for programming, and even spent time teaching during his degree. He has deep knowledge of programming fundamentals, logic, even dabbled in AI and compiler design, making his own compiler at one point as a project for school.
He's spent the better part of a decade acquiring the knowledge he has. He's been a senior developer at several companies, and when he broke six figures, it wasn't a raise he asked for, nor one he had to change jobs to get. He's also not the type of person who changes jobs for a raise. He's had four different employers over the past 5-10 years...
He's a very smart person and very logical. I feel very privileged to be his friend since highschool.
Interesting. I would be happy to get to know y'all
