If you're worth your salt, you can get more than $42. I don't really know what else to say.


It's average for "tech". I'm guessing that includes everything from Wall St HFT experts to some guy laying network cable.


Wall St consultants (let alone HFT 'experts') should make somewhere close to double that. The same is true for London/Frankfurt/Singapore/Hong Kong financial industry consultants.

Aside from the remuneration, I love working here. We were briefly featured here on HN because of our 1K+ Student Ubuntu deployment.

It's a tricky situation!
