I can only imagine the people this company employees if they are spending 35K on a software developer. 90% sure the majority of staff is making minimum wage.
> if they are spending 35K on a software developer.
You do realize not every human being on the planet, or even HN, is a software developer, right?
>90% sure the majority of staff is making minimum wage.
I make 65% of my state's annual HOUSEHOLD income and 2.3x minimum wage... this is a problem with HN, many of you make 6 figure salaries and assume that everyone is a software engineer making 6 figure salaries.
The 2017 nominal median income per capita was $31,786 in the United States.
I make a few thousound more currently as a software dev. Work for government in a poor, red state. Luckily, however my office conditions aren't nearly what the parent comment described.
Oh well... I was the one who asked the question and that's how much I make (software developer in southern Europe, currently working for a bank of all places).
I'm not offended by the statement, but if the difference's so pronounced I'll be happy to hear any opportunities for remote work :P

With such low wages, you can't expect quality.
