Salary for a junior developer can be anywhere between $80K-120K with a bonus range of 10%-50%. This is based on nothing but 1-2 years of experience and a CS degree. Most companies will not deal directly with you if you came with a recruiter. The recruiter makes about 20-30% commission on your BASE salary so they are motivated to get you the most money and close the deal (which means you need to accept it).

Seems way high for a Junior Developer. Perhaps it's just very high in the US, around here it's approx $18k/yr for a very junior programmer. This leads me to ask, what's a typical salary for a hedge fund enior developer in the US?
