second cycle!

[clockworks]

Hmmm a huge fortune as a computer programmer? I'm senior software developer and I'm still waiting for that huge fortune Just kidding, good field if you know your stuff and work many many long hours

i'm graduating in december and i got offered a little under average for a recent graduate ($45k). but living at home and paying $300-$400 per month including ALL bills and food, i think i'll save up a few bucks pretty easily...=) also, i get a standard raise in 6 months.

btw, where i live now, i was searching for jobs. there are lots of "senior" and "lead" programming positions wanted, offering $80k or more and only requiring 5-10 years experience. imo, thats pretty good...

i think i would be pretty happy in life making $80k and my wife making the same. then again, maybe not...i heard once you're a bit older, things get really expensive, really quickly...

Thats a nice start. I've been developing for about ten years. I got a nice stock option plan in the startup company I'm at now. I'm sure you will be making $80k soon if you work hard. You'll be surprised how little $80k is now days unfortunatly. Good luck. Where do you live?
