Ask HN: Senior developer, moving to USA
Hello All,
I had some queries which i had posted on another thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6231688 in which i had asked couple of questions. One of the questions asked was: is 130K-150K salary range correct when discussing with HR if the job is in NYC?
one of the commenters mentioned that i should not be surprised if i was asked in a range of 75K-100K.
My questions is is this true for a 10 years experienced programmer in C++ and Java moving from Hong Kong to NYC?
I always thought that given my experience AND knowledge/expertise/etc (please note the AND emphasis) getting a salary above 130K in NYC was easy. Am i reading the market wrong?
