Just sitting here idly whiling the time away until 5PM comes, so I thunked I'd make a thread to find out what jobs the rest of you have, who you work for, and how much you get paid.

I'm currently on a years industry placement from Uni, working for CMP Information (a Business Media company) doing support, network admin and suchlike stuff. For the year, they pay me £13K.

Prime Minister - £150,000 a year

**Memnoch1207** · Jul 24th, 2003, 12:37 PM

scraping by (about to be downsized from my current company) I do web based application development...make about $23K/year...but I have 3 possible job offers pending which start about $40k-$70K...so that would be a nice turn around if I could get one of them. If not, I guess I should start looking for a bridge to move under.

Yes, but after reading another recent thread, the average age of people on this board is about 20 - 21, so that might by why wages are lower thatn you would expect.

**demotivater** · Jul 25th, 2003, 06:27 AM

True. I just assumed that a lot of people here made more as many are pretty knowledgeable. Maybe it's true that it's not what you know, it's who you know!

**PeteD** · Jul 25th, 2003, 07:03 AM

When I was 23 I was on £21K and (I may sound like I'm being up my own arse when I say this but) I think I was a better coder at 23 than many older collegues around who had years of experience, and some of those earnt £80k/year (contrators). Now at 27 on £32k/year as a senior developer/software architect, the market is very different, and I'm currently job-hunting as we're being closed down.

**Briantcva** · Jul 25th, 2003, 09:35 AM

I do database design, make vb .net applications for internal use that do different things like check the intergrity of a database, and do lots of intranet web application programming in ASP/ASP .net, and general xhtml stuff too.
