I've been working professionally as an engineer for almost 5 years, the past two in dedicated DevOps / SRE capacities. At my current firm, which is a large global company, I make 150k/yr + variable bonus (usually ~%20).

This is in NYC. I kind of hate the work, though. Would much prefer to go back to a pure programming role as I miss the problem solving and analytical aspect of coding. SRE is a lot of plumbing and then twiddling config files or sitting on the line with cloud support. But it is cool to bring up huge clusters at the click of a button.
