Low Saleries and Disrespect To Computer Programmers
Companies will try to take advantage of a employee when and wherever possible. It’s becoming quite a common occurance in this economy seeing employers trying to get employees to do a job for well under market rate. A computer programmer is a highly skilled profession that requires at least a 4 year college degree to get a job. Not to mention programmers sometimes work long hours when it gets busy (50+ is common for me in a hectic week)
These employers then expect people to have 5+ years (usually enough to get a good paying job in the past) and bill for 40 (as a consultant). They want employees to get paid what someone of entry level status makes?
I don’t even think that that any American citizen (unless in extreme desparate need of a job) would take a rate way under market value. I sometimes think these so called jobs are geared toward foreigners so the employer can say there are no qualified American’s to do the job. Just the other day I got this ridiculous job posting sent to me.
