What does it take to land a six-figure coding job? The $10k reward alone is nearly half of my annual income. I have no idea how good you have to be to earn that much.
$75k is basically entry level right out of college, in one of the weaker (like, 3rd tier city) markets in the US. Straight salary, not counting benefits.
Child care and health care are really expensive, though, and can burn a surprising amount of that in a hurry. Even in “lesser” markets where housing’s within reach of someone making that much, healthcare and child care can hurt the ol’ pocket book.
Entry level in hotter cities will be over $100k, and the lower end of mid-tier in weaker cities will be over $100k.
You don’t have to be good at all, the handful of truly-bad developers I’ve met seem to do fine.
Oh that's interesting to know. What's more normal for Southern and Eastern Europe? I was giving numbers based off the top of my head and looking for work globally.
I gave numbers, it'd be awesome if you provided some too so the parent and grandparent post can have a good idea of what's going on :)
