Programmers (or software engineers, if you like) almost never ask / negotiate what they're really worth. I don't see how it would be any different in finance.

- randombit 17y agoProbably so. However on Wall Street in general (especially in areas investment banking portfolio management, high frequency trading, etc) programmer salaries in the 100-150k range is the norm. Part of that is simply NYC cost of living, of course, but 60k is really seriously low, even for an entry level gig.
- duh 17y ago> programmer salaries in the 100-150k range is the norm This is the norm outside of Wall St as well, for anyone who has actual talent and/or experience and isn't a spineless pushover. For example, a truly talented sales engineer can easily make $250k/year + benefits and equity compensation. > 60k is really seriously low It was a 60k bonus.
- Jeema3000 17y agoactually $250k is kinda low. a ludicriously talented sales engineer (level 60 of course) can easily make a bajillion dollars a year if not more...
