What does it take to get to 100k?
I am a developer with 7 years experience and getting 90k. Can people anonymously tell their job and experience and salary??Just curious, because lot of folks I know with 5-10 years experience are getting between 75-)95k.

dont consider discouraging words. hartford is an avg city. 85k is enough for an avg living there. H1b guys gets around 70-85k and have an average life.its true salary growth of 90s or early 2000s is not here now

How much u r getting paid in texas. And what part of texas u r in.. add 20% in general to ur expenses for moving frm TX to CT. As I said, CT is expensive, not just the hartfotd. compare to south.. due to its tax sys.. forget the daily expenses. U pay tax on everything.
The people who r saying is avg and cheap in CT are people who are okay accepting a low std life, dirty apartments, corrolla or civic as one car in home. They feel thats only affprdablity..

They havent explored the other option. 85 is more than enough if u r in TX not in CT

I request all Indians If you salary is less than 100K please go back... you are wasting H1b quota... this doesnt apply to students cuz their resume is fake and Indian inc eat their salary... but if you are a full time or Indian inc consultant with more than 5 years experience... then please leave this country... less than 100K is you are a cheap labour.

Most of the research scientists with phds get 50-70 k, and by all means they are far more educated than most of the ITs.

Many h1b earn 120k only even in silicon valley. Salary growth is very less. A good number 70-85 in Ct itself. Job situation of india is really bad especially for consultants. Since companies there too wamt cheap youngsters. Facts

Its our people only who are here accepts low salary from these small consulting firms specially owned by Indians here and large firms like Cognizant, Infosys.. For initial year or two coming from India make sense.. But most under fear accepts such low pay is infact abusing the H1B quota and hurting salary of people here.. These low pay should stop since clients pay on an avg 200k per ind in area like hartford.. Demand more, and stick to it.. you low self esteem people are not just hurting you but hurting your fellow friends too... 85k is close to reality I know but its at least 30% low for a developer in CT. (From 10+ year Exp in living in CT and 6+ in IT)

Asking for better salary, it was possible 5-10 yrs back. Now a days its tough. H1b struggle here to get into gc line. Its very touhh to change consultancy or job. There are many working in ny for 65k. Reason is you are getting more ameeican candidates and other immigrants cheaper than indian candidates. Trend is shifting. 70-85 k is a reality in ct.

I wont say 85k is bad,Its an ok salary.big majority of h1b is on that salary.shifting of consultancy is not an option for many. S386 is dead in senate almost. I also heard about real job strugles back in india,especially for consultants.There are thousands of consultants out there.People stay here for better living and for kids.If you have a loving partner,85K is a good place to live in.Majority h1b gets between 65k-80k.IT managerial posts can be done by anyone.Some coders may have some option left

unless you are extremely spendthrift and eat from outside ,CT is good with 85k. Taxes are there,but there are many benefits too.SO dont go for people who says 85k is very less.CT is a good place to stay.

75-85k is avg h1 salary.Why would h1b go back. Concept of h1b itself is skilled cheap labour. Its sad but trur. Majority indians stay here for kids and their better future. Struggle is real in India too.jobs creation is very less and consultants are strugglin.Today 1usd has reached 71.20rs.
