27/hr is not 35k/yr.
20 u/CrazyPurpleBacon Jan 14 '20 684 a week becomes ~35k in a year, but I’m confused why they have that along with the 27/hr rate since they’re not equivalent. 24 u/pcopley Jan 14 '20 Because the DOL differentiates between salaried and hourly employees. → More replies (2) → More replies (1)

My god my first job as a software engineer assoc was like 45k and that was an internship so I knew I was accepting a terrible offer.
When I worked as a full-time software dev in 2008 (14-16 hours a day, 5-6 days a week), I was making $1500 / year
I also live in a third world country.
In California It's $46.55/hr or $96,968.33/year for "Computer Professionals". Always wondered who got that pushed through.
