He's not the problem, it's those people whom are failure in life constantly crying about how they don't believe a fresh grad is earning more than them.

Please don't judge me. I am just an average joe trying to make some money.

2017 - 2200$
2018 - 2300$ (increased due to inflation adjustment (F**K SMEs))
2019 - 2700$ (F**K SMEs)
2020 - 3500$ (Job change due to COVID boom)
2021 - 5000$ (Job change; Graduated with my part-time degree from UOW)
2022 - 7000$ (Job change; Got like 4 offers and able to nego and joined who offered the highest)

Looking bad, I have never worked as hard as in my first job. The effort I took in my first two years was a lot. I OT-ed most of the days and learn technical stacks and frameworks on my own free time. Also had no mentors or senior developers to guide me. Life was hard and unfair.

Currently, my job pays at least 3x I earned during my first job. And the effort involved is wayyyyyy less. Now I just sit home (indefinite WFH) fix production bugs (take 1 hr max to fix) and deploy. Easy job and less stressful environment.

Listen kids, Work smart not hard. Try to make use of the opportunities to get certified and always take an effort to make connections in ur workplace.

The bigger ur network is the bigger your oppurtunity for career progression.

i don't know if you're the same loser crying on here every single day with the silly chicken rice nonsense but as I mentioned in my post, it is realistic for average tech people.

if you make more, good for you.

Interesting to see some of the comparisons, I am by no means in the <5 YOE category but thought I'd shared. Most of my work experience is in real estate (consultancy initially and now in investment / asset management). In most respects it is decent to good progression and I am happy with where I am.

I have to agree with this.

Also why does it matter what time people post at? I could post at 4am too on a Wednesday morning, so what? Most people work from home and if any of you have ever worked in an actual decent tech company with fair WLB, you don't code 8 hours a day... most of the time it's meetings, stand-ups, grooming, etc.

90k base for fresh grad is definitely possible. There's a ton of crypto companies, unicorn start-ups, and many more that already pays 80-90k that aren't even that difficult to get in.
