I don’t care because I am not looking for a new job. The poster asked for specifically what he has to do to make 175K. All you guys have confirmed is, yes it is theoretically possible to get that salary. If that is true, how about listing specific companies and job descriptions? Or even better, job announcements for open positions right now?[/quote]
I think posting publicly identifiable details to strangers in forums is bordering lunacy 🙂 This thread provides suggestions on the type of opportunities available in SD, and the OP can modify the job/company search for his location.
This said what has been hugely beneficial over the years is the contacts made along the way. If some one is looking to switch or is starting out in a new city it is helpful to go to meetups/study the prospective industry and at the very least identify a highly connected recruiter within the industry.
I have mostly been involved in privately held/startups, and most times there are no official job openings. Last month someone introduced a QCOM guy, and a new position was created.
btw, you did not respond to my query about your industry and typical developer pay scale? tia for the details!
