minus-squareEnderMB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·7 months agoNot all programmers live in the US. In the UK, especially outside of London, the pay is surprisingly bad.
minus-squareECB@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·7 months agoYes, but the pay for other jobs is even worse!
minus-squareEnderMB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-27 months agoMy wife is a teacher. Her pay was mostly comparable to mine throughout our careers. My pay has literally tripled since working in London. Currently, there are senior design and development roles in my home city of Bristol that pay less than what you’d get paid as a fast food manager.
minus-squareAgent641@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down5·7 months agoYeah but all the other jobs don’t leave you with crypto debt up to your eyeballs. I have $83k in credit card debt that I used to buy LUNA.

That’s your jobs fault?
