Because what they do takes education and skill.

I get 65k a year to play in photoshop faggot.

no it doesn't take education. you don't need to go to uni to learn to be a code monkey

Where? How?

Some people don't need to, most do. And your average neckbearded bedroom coder usually doesn't know nearly as much as someone coming out of university.

Is that supposed to be good?

Is that supposed to be high?

30k was my starting salary in 2011 just out from uni as software engineer in London, today i am at 90k, its a good paying job, but you need to learn every day.
It can also get boring, sitting at home and not seeing anyone for days, but this i guess depends on the person lol

lol people wageslave for 30k a year...

i make that every 4 days kek

Tech Startup in city. Branding & Video Content. Was pulling 85k before covid.

i agree that uni is helpful for some, but holy cope.
neckbeard bedroom coders absolutely BTFO uni cucks 10 times out of 10.

as long as we're referring to the turboautistic codes for fun neckbeard bedroom coder

Uhh people make more at Costco

>neckbeard bedroom coders absolutely BTFO uni cucks 10 times out of 10
Gonna have to press X to doubt on that one. I've worked in industry for about 20 years, and we are currently in an age where every fat neckbeard who's put together a gaming pc suddenly thinks he's an IT expert. They are wrong 99 out of 100 times. It's why so few of those types end up being hired anywhere.

Those are britbucks so they're roughly worth twice what USD is.

Why don't they outsource at a lower cost instead of keeping someone at 65k?

Larp?

Lol no. 30% more than usd thesedays

They could. But then they'd have to hire a project manager, graphic designer, video producer, 3d animator. Contractors are also generally less invested in the brand and its success.

Pretty much during times like these you really have to sell yourself as an asset that saves costs, creates efficiencies, and makes the company money.

>Mfw I make £36k before bonuses, straight out of uni (not even a top 50 one) and I don't live in that shithole that is London.

Doing what

Software Engineer for a bank

So you do those stuff too? Then yeah you're pretty valuable. I thought you just did photoshop work

ITT: 'smart' programmers who only learned about the existence of the modulo operator from the famous 'crack the coding interview' book which finally let them nail fizzbuzz.

Hahaha i work 15 hours a wwek as a guitar teacher and i earn 90k a year with 13 weeks paid holidays. Switzerland motherfuckers!

Yea warehouse workers at Costco make about 45k cashiers 35k.

Why does Europe have such low salaries?
That’s only about $36000

How is this highly paid? I'd be devastated if I had to live off that kind of money

Because they know 'jeets will (sloppily) work for it.

25 making $85k a year doing fuck all as an electrical engineer

please let ME IN ALREADY

I FUCKING HATE IT HERE

I make 300k a year as an attorney faggots

Unless your skin's the color of feces and you're from a middle eastern shithole, you're probably not getting into Sweden.

Nice try, a beer costs like 15 francs

>your skin's the color of feces
hurts mate. Please don't say these.

every person i've met who's told me s/he wants to learn to code has quit almost immediately

I work in cyber security and a university degree on the subject is barely worth the paper its printed on, practice, motivation and qualifications from vendors like sans or oscp are what gets you paid

I apologize.

I'm so tired of these conversations because they always ignore the #1 reason to go to uni at all. When you get to interview time, nothing speaks more toward your skill than a degree. You can do it without one, but you'll just have to compete with everyone else that has the degree (pretty much everyone). Not to mention the number of positions that list a degree as a requirement (most of them), and not to mention the number of places that don't specifically list a degree as a req but will still discard your application for lack of a degree.

>you need to go to uni to be a wagie
and this, my dear friends, is why unicucks are ngmi

The fuck. How many years are you doing this
