Why should a software developer have to leave with 2/3 people to make ends meet? We are talking about a career field that requires a good education and continuous learning to keep up skills and learn new technologies.
Pardon me for not wanting to live like an unskilled worker while the owners and managers just get richer. salary.com is showing somewhere in the 80K range as average for a
Java Developer in San Francisco.
Your salary is not based on whether you are single living with 3 other people or married with 3 kids its based on your skills and abilities and market. Please consider careful as this seems very low for California.
