What?!?

Maybe they're in their first year, or something, but I wasn't on site and I didn't even have clearance and I was paid significantly more than 50k. In Arizona. (I was doing support work.)

When I said $$$ to BigCo in Silicon valley, they didn't blink, and I don't have the big names on my resume either.

I've worked for 4 companies within http://washingtontechnology.com/toplists/top-100-lists/2011....

The rates that I've seen has actually gone down, Back in 2001 a developer with a TS/SCI/FSP would get around $45K with about 5 years experience (company is in the top 10). Today that same developer gets $40K with the same clearances (company within the top 50).
