Re: salary negotiation

A bit out of topic, but I find absolutly amazing how much software engineers in the US make! Damn, I just make 39K here in Canada. Ok I'm a junior just out of university, but I graduated first of my class, got a lot of offers, negociated a lot and accepted the best offer at 39K. But making a six-figures salary here as a software developper will never happen. A senior can expect to make about 80 K, and only if he's great and essential.
Makes me want to move south.

Really? I'm always shocked at how much non-software developers make. Some SW guy makes $70k but his garbage man makes $60k , the plumber makes $90k , the general contractor makes $150k . I just found out this guy I know who manages an RV park makes $200k !!!
Software is really a pretty [censored] job without much room for advancement unless you start your own company or get lucky at a startup.
