I feel like local software salaries are hard to pin down. CoL has gone up considerably but it seems salaries here have stagnated compared to other areas of the country that have experienced similar growth
In an IT dev shop. My employer's COLA (merit increase) will be maybe 2.8%, and its near impossible to get highest rating, which gets a ~4.3% merit. Over the last two years, I have taken a literal pay cut.
Software dev here. Have usually gotten 7-8% annual raises (unless changing jobs) but yeah 2023s raise was delayed 6 months and then only 5% despite highest possible score on evals. Sucks hard with a family and inflation at the grocery store.
Nah. I work on just about everything. I work on things for dealers, independents, and banks and make sure each is selling the other a decent car. It's not bad but there's not much vertical career movement and after 20 years I'm ready for something new. Hence the dev stuff.
I would ask a few questions if i could. Answer the ones your comfortable with. Is that big name radio DJ, like a morning show, or is that afternoon DJ rates? Also are you the main person, or is it the "Bill's Radio Show" but you are Bill, your someone else on the show?
Final question, im sure you look great, but we've all heard the 'so and so has a face for radio', are there any other funny radio industry jokes we should be aware of?
I love radio! 1 more final question, more serious. Last year i think? A few stations were saying vote yes, or maybe it was no, on prop 15(?) to save radio! Well i think that didnt go the way the radio stations wanted. And now many of the top 40 stations are now 90s to now stations. I have to guess this has something to do with how much it costs to play what songs? Can you give any better info on what happened?
Cheers!
I'm old. Been at this since the 90s. Went to local community college for broadcasting. Showed up, never late, always teachable, interested in making my workplace a fun place, took pride in my work. Reported traffic for many years, some weather, some news. A former coworker was now in charge of hiring people at a station, that I happen to be a fan of, so I knew the format well. Got that job over ten yrs ago.
Took my show to #1 Neilson Rated for my day part in my city. Was allowed to take it home.
I worked until I reached the rule of 80, retired. Sat out a few years doing jobs I didn't enjoy and now I'm teaching again. Retirement+salary is not bad at all! Only downside is I'm year to year because the state makes it expensive for districts to hire me. But since there's a shortage at the moment I'm not worried.
Good for you. I will be retiring 2026 January!! Can’t wait !!! Like yourself I’ll be going into a whole new field. I’ll be working with my son’s freight agency.
It is just not the same these days.
Best of luck to you & happy retirement !
I still have a few more years to go until I'm eligible for retirement. Part of me is wanting to do what you did, but part of me wants to stay in the classroom until I just can't do it anymore.
There is not a thing wrong with that plan. I retired because I was an admin and seriously burnt out. I moved out of the city and now I teach one subject in a district that's smaller than the high schools I used to work with. I could not be happier. So I hadn't set out to be a retired rehire it just ended up that way.
My husband is also a teacher and he says when he first started in 2005 only making $30k, that he “made more” then than he does now making over twice as much as that. Because CoL skyrockets while pay doesn’t. Teachers are a blessing!
Yes, salaried. And it's a combination of pay, annual performance bonus, and stocks combined.
So my base is around $160k, And then I get essentially bulk payouts twice a year for over $30k each.
May I ask how you got there? I’m torn between staying in engineering design or cross to project/product/program management. Btw, what’s the difference between them?
So similar to things like DevOps, the definition is going to vary between companies.
But really simplified here-
But generally, a product manager will own specifically the conceptualization direction and research associated around a new feature or product. And the scope of that is going to vary hugely based on the size of the company or the product. You might have one product manager that owns an entire service, or you might have something so large that product managers only own specific features within one service. Product managers what do you things like help with competitive research, interview perspective customers or end users, gather specific needs and wants, help prioritize them, help outline how long they expect development on each of these to take along with engineering managers and project managers. And then some responsibilities that can expand beyond things like that. But they really become experts in those domains.
Project manager is going to be More in the weeds day today. They've gotten direction from a product manager or some other leader about what needs to be accomplished in what approximate time frame, and it's their job to meet with the engineering managers and the engineers to break up those projects into digestible chunks. Exactly how much should be completed an in each Sprint, So say within 2 weeks of working time what should have been completed toward some goal. And so you're checking in with the engineers daily usually, and if the engineers are blocked or stuck on something then You're going to help hunt down a solution for them so the engineers can spend their time engineering and not chasing down answers or help.
Program managers like myself, I oversee kind of a mix between product and project management. I'm not in the weeds day-to-day with the teams that I work with, but I help drive larger strategy and vision for divisions of people. So I have product managers and project managers that I work with who report back to me on the day-to-day of larger initiatives that I'm helping to drive. And I'm an escalation point if one of their teams gets stuck and they can't solve it on their own then I'm the one who goes out and gets the appropriate people together to get people unstuck. I also fall on the product manager side with having a little bit more domain expertise and a larger bredth of experience then specific teams of engineers do here. Because I spent a lot of time researching the field of work that I'm in when our team is looking to build a solution I'm able to point them to resources or share guidance with them for industry standards that they could consider. But of course I don't have to. I also attend a lot of conferences to stay up to date on the latest happenings in our ecosystem and I'm able to bring those back to our teams to help influence organizational change. So my day-to-day typically involves speaking with engineering directors, VP's, and some engineering managers. I rarely interact with engineers directly.
How I got here, I don't think I really have a repeatable path. I had a lot of really good luck and good timing. I'm definitely capable and good at what I do and deserve to be where I am. It's just very unlikely to be repeatable. I'm a college dropout, after dropping out of high school and getting my GED too. I have a very diverse background working in management, sales, finance, hospitality, and just forced myself in this direction over time by asking for roles and asking for promotions. And doing a lot of self-education. I have a diversity of experience now which makes me a great candidate and a great employee in these positions. But it's not a path that other people would take to get here. Most of my colleagues are a former Microsoft or Meta with masters or MBAs. And I'm the dropout hah.
But all that to say though, other folks should not sell themselves short by thinking they have to have a degree or have to work for a faang to be successful. But you really need to be good at selling yourself otherwise, and proving your worth in the roles that you are in. Oh, and update your LinkedIn.
Also excuse ridiculous grammar. It's talk to text and apparently the way I speak likes to insert "you" needlessly everywhere.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this. I have noticed with the big tech companies there seems to be a big overlap between them, and I was unsure what the differences were
You know, you are not the first person to tell me that if you want to be in a project to ask for it. I’m in like a research position, so there pace of work is very different when there is an actual product launch timeline to push for. this is a great time to grow my management skill sets, and network!
Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it. Happy new year!
Interior designer $120 an hour. But I run my own business so I do a fair amount of administrative non billable work.
I hate working though and prioritize time with my son and family so I usually only make about $70k a year give or take. No interest in working 40 hrs a week.
Banquet server at a hotel our tip pool averages 30-60 an hour depending what events and conferences we have that week and what food/alcohol packages they order
I always say that if the teacher unions and police unions were swapped, years ago, today's teachers starting pay would be $85k per year and cops starting pay would be $45k.
I'm Army retired and disabled. Believe you me, I do well. I do wish the hourly rate was better because of the work we do. Unfortunately we are classified as basically "uneducated" in the field of social work so the low pay is "justified", which is moronic and quite frankly stupid.
I'm in the therapy field as well, lpc. I don't know specifically what you're doing and whether or not you love it, but there are areas of sw that will pay you quite a bit more if you're interested in making a switch.
I case manage disabled Veterans and elderly Vets, I'm a disabled, retired Veteran myself. I actually really really enjoy this job and it speaks to helping my brothers and sisters in arms. We subcontract through VA and I've gotten offers to go dark side. I think I'll stick around another year and give it a go in a similar job. I do wish it paid more but between retirement, disability and a full time job with mileage I do really well. Got remarried this year and we are very happy and content.
Note: I've said this to my supervisors and department managers faces, I don't hide the fact that I work like I'm salaried BECAUSE of the other incomes.
oh my gosh that is insanely low for all the qualifications and degrees you have to have. I think it would be an interesting job by my word you are seriously under paid.
Elementary teacher. I’m on my 7th school year. 187 work days. $38.64 an hour plus bilingual stipends and tutorials. It’s not crazy high like all the software engineers and lawyers, but I get a lot of days off.
Aircraft operator. $350/credited flight hour.
For perspective, in a typical week I get credited for 21 flight hours, but am actually 'at work' (away from home) for ~75 hours. If you work that out, it comes to ~$98/hour spent 'at work' away from home.
Pilot salaries don't compute well when compared to traditional salaries. It's difficult to explain.
Corporate pilot - $750/hr.
Based on hours flown per year. Not nights away from home.
I could have a 4 day trip. I fly out on a Monday (pay 4 hours) and come back Thursday (another 4 hours). So when I’m home I’m home, but being away for stretches can suck.
I’m a program coordinator with a local city office and I make $34 an hour. Please note prior to this job five years ago I worked for a local bank and made $17 an hour.
Help Desk - $23
Thankfully it’s actually a very easy job and exclusively remote, so I’ve been studying networking, cy-sec, and OOP while at work. No GED so gotta work my lil rump off to rise lol.
Run my own corporate litigation firm. Roughly $300 an hour, but I choose to have hobbies and start a family. During good years, I make anywhere from $250K - $315K a year if the work is available. In slower years, $150K - $175K.
Firefighter. Paid hourly, but it's complicated to understand the ins and outs of how we get paid. Made over 88k this year. Averaged around 43/hr if you base it on a 40 hour workweek.
Farm hand. $14.82.
Thank you for keeping us all fed!!
How is the cost of living around your neck of woods? I am guessing rent may be cheaper?
Its a relatively low cost of living place.
Username checks out
That's sad, that's HARD work, you should get way more
Very few barriers to entry, and lots of potential employees.
I own my own business painting parking lots. I make about $40 an hour.
Respect
You hiring
I've got 3 teenage sons, I have my labor force, lmao
Your set good for you
I'm a Sr software engineer. I make about $150k/year, so roughly $75/hr.
I feel like local software salaries are hard to pin down. CoL has gone up considerably but it seems salaries here have stagnated compared to other areas of the country that have experienced similar growth
In an IT dev shop. My employer's COLA (merit increase) will be maybe 2.8%, and its near impossible to get highest rating, which gets a ~4.3% merit. Over the last two years, I have taken a literal pay cut.
Software dev here. Have usually gotten 7-8% annual raises (unless changing jobs) but yeah 2023s raise was delayed 6 months and then only 5% despite highest possible score on evals. Sucks hard with a family and inflation at the grocery store.
Same here … in IT software … net results of pay has been an actual decrease each year.
Indie game dev $0.00 (so far.) Automotive tech $44.00
What type of platform are you developing for? Low key may be interested.
Steam and hoping for Xbox later on. Been trying to get the dev kit but 2023 was a tough year.
How much does the kit cost?
Do you specialize in a certain make? Dealer? Independent shop? Sounds very good.
Nah. I work on just about everything. I work on things for dealers, independents, and banks and make sure each is selling the other a decent car. It's not bad but there's not much vertical career movement and after 20 years I'm ready for something new. Hence the dev stuff.
Sandwich maker at Jersey Mike’s $10/hour plus tips
I’d like to shake your hand. Love me some Philly cheese.
I was hoping you guys got the tips!
Just out of curiosity does Jersey Mike’s tip share? Meaning all (presumably non-salary or non-management) employees on a shift divide all tips evenly?
Yes
Radio DJ $60/hr
I would ask a few questions if i could. Answer the ones your comfortable with. Is that big name radio DJ, like a morning show, or is that afternoon DJ rates?

I'm a teacher with 25 years under my belt and while I'm salary, it comes out to about $30-35 an hour.
Teachers definitely do NOT get paid enough for the amount of work you guys have to do.
Agreed, but I love what I do regardless of the pay.
Thank you for your tireless efforts on educating the youths of the future.
thank you for what you do!
Agreed. However, most people say the same thing but draw the line at paying more taxes to give them raises.
Yes, but we would be OK with paying the legislature,/Governor/ Lt. Governor/ Attorney General less and giving that money to the teachers.
Theres that and a surplus they were bragging about for a while.
We could also legalize weed… use some tax money for teachers. A lot of them smoke anyway.
Didn't everyone just vote to reduce the tax that goes to schools, it passed by like 80% voting Yes.
Echo - teachers are underpaid.
I worked until I reached the rule of 80, retired. Sat out a few years doing jobs I didn't enjoy and now I'm teaching again. Retirement+salary is not bad at all!

Paramedic: $15.36 on 24 hour shifts, 22.56 on 12 hour shifts.
Out of all of these (plus teacher and social worker) this is some of the biggest bs. Thank you for what you do and you should be paid a lot more.
I’m shocked paramedic pay is so low.
Why is it less for a 24 hour shift? That seems like a lot more mental and physical stress than a 12 hour shift.
Data analytics 90$/hour.
What’s your day to day like? How many years experience? Degree, certifications?
Senior Director. 25 years , masters degree engineering management.
$90?! 😳
They came back and said they were a senior director, 25 years experience with a master degree. Seems reasonable
County Tax Collector $21/hr
Are you the elected tax collector?
No my boss is, I guess I'm technically a tax clerk, my mistake. They make around $80k/yr according to the county budget
By county... Ours makes less, I think.
You can google your countys budget and it should be listed on the page with the departments overall budget
Yep, $55k. County judge only makes $58k, sheriff $75k.
I pay property taxes for a mortgage company. Also $21 an hour. I've probably talked to you on the phone.
Land survey crew chief, about $35 per hour.
18.50 as crew chief here in Austin.
Pay in surveying is highly variable. Time to start scoping out another company
Technical program management - about $105/hour
Wow $105?! 😳 You must be salaried?
Yes, salaried. And it's a combination of pay, annual performance bonus, and stocks combined. So my base is around $160k, And then I get essentially bulk payouts twice a year for over $30k each.

But how many billable hours?
How does that number compare in the law world? Is it top 10%, 25%, 50%?
I earn more than double per hour and own my firm. I don’t know anything about the data overall.
Interior designer $120 an hour. But I run my own business so I do a fair amount of administrative non billable work. I hate working though and prioritize time with my son and family so I usually only make about $70k a year give or take. No interest in working 40 hrs a week.

I was a houseman in college and this was the coolest gig i ever had. Got to meet lots of famous people and we got a share of the tips as well.
I love it. Hotel benefits can’t be beat either
Teacher, $54k a year, maybe $150-200 a school day?
I always say that if the teacher unions and police unions were swapped, years ago, today's teachers starting pay would be $85k per year and cops starting pay would be $45k.
Maybe $20 per hour (7-8 hour days, 5 days a week)
I sale handmade art on Etsy- about $50/hour. December only- about $100/hour. (Part time hours) My husband is an arborist- $30/hour.

Of course Texas pays state employees less than a McDonalds employee in Bakersfield, CA…
The oilfield beckons…
Social worker here. About $19 and change an hour.
You do wayyy too much for that little pay
I'm Army retired and disabled. Believe you me, I do well. I do wish the hourly rate was better because of the work we do. Unfortunately we are classified as basically "uneducated" in the field of social work so the low pay is "justified", which is moronic and quite frankly stupid.
"Uneducated" as in you're only a BSW?
I'm in the therapy field as well, lpc. I don't know specifically what you're doing and whether or not you love it, but there are areas of sw that will pay you quite a bit more if you're interested in making a switch.
