I looked up client/server programmer on Monster.com and got the average for Vermont:
Client/Server Programmer I Burlington, VT 25th%ile Median 75th%ile $42,973 $48,589 $55,303 Programmer I Burlington, VT 25th%ile Median 75th%ile $40,892 $45,231 $51,272 So there you go. I am a grad myself (Australian) but I can't tell you what I earn. I can probably get away with saying that it is a lot less that that... mind you that is an average and not for a graduate. I would say that "about 50k" for one year experience is probably only slightly higher than the median. Did anyone actually go to the website for this company and look for the supposed job posting on their careers site? coz it isn't there.

Thats like 85k over here - which is a *lot* more than even a very senior programmer is worth nevermind a junior. 85k for a JUNIOR programmer. Wow! You could buy a car with that! (Which unlike junior programmers are distinctly not cheap over here. <sigh/>) so... whats the tax rate like over in the States these days? ;-) -- ajay --------------- Who Dares Wins ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: www-mail.usyd.edu.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
