| Jun 20, 2012 at 18:00 | comment | added | Dan Esparza | @MVCylon I disagree with your premise. I think being sociable and having good demeanor are valued skills that employers are willing to pay for. When you look at most very highly compensated software developers they not only have technical chops, they have 'soft skills' as well. | |
| Jun 7, 2012 at 16:25 | history | edited | Jeremy | Updated tags; Goal was to remove "compensation" tag since it's off-topic. | |
| Apr 20, 2012 at 23:50 | comment | added | Andrew T Finnell | The moment you want to become legally responsible for your code, will be the moment you get paid more. :) | |
| Dec 29, 2011 at 4:09 | comment | added | siamii | Programmers are the slaves, executives are the slave owners :) It's not about skill or hard work. It's about politics and power. See "why is Paris Hilton paid more than most programmers when clearly she is a stupid ****". There is no justice in the world. | |

| Feb 10, 2011 at 23:42 | comment | added | Halil Özgür | Well if you still count the likes of Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Mark Zuckerberg as programmers (they were so in the beginning, and are still active in the technical sides of their businesses AFAIK), then the top earners are programmers. So there seems to be a gap between the top and mid/lower levels :) | |

| Feb 9, 2011 at 14:56 | comment | added | HLGEM | I will mention that the PM and business analyst on the main project I am working on put in way more hours than I do. There isn't enough money in the universe to pay me to do their jobs. | |

| Feb 9, 2011 at 14:26 | comment | added | Aaron McIver | "...the ones that goes home late..." Not to come across harsh but this sounds like a personal issue you need to address. If putting long hours in is how you define your worth to the company then some serious personal analysis needs to be done. | |

| Feb 9, 2011 at 14:21 | comment | added | MVCylon | Bigger salary in america has absolutely nothing to do with skill. More you are liked, and the more you play the politics game, the more you get paid. Programmers are usually logical, intelligent, individuals, who tell it like it is. Executives hate that. | |
