[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overall package 300k+ per year. [/quote]

Just because you are a "software engineer" does not mean you are qualified for jobs with this comp.[/quote]

That’s not a concern, of course I’ll need to be qualified. Plus it’s just 50k above what I make now. I only want to know where to look. [/quote]

You shouldn't be looking if you're in DC. You are overpaid right now relative to the DC market and you aren't going to find much better.[/quote]
How much does a SE make in DC? $200k?[/quote]

I am the software Manager and I don't make that but I am non-profit, however, I have interviewed a lot of candidates from different industries, and some of them even come from Amazon. Your range will be 160k-180K and I am being generous. My sr software engineers make $140k. add 20K in you go to private

You are looking in the wrong area.

Glassdoor software engineer salaries in DC is pretty accurate: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/washington-dc-senior-software-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,13_IM911_KO14,38.htm[/quote]
And how's your turnover rate? DHs firm has hard time retaining qualified Sr SE in 160-180k range currently.[/quote]

Again I was being super generous. I am non profit and people love working here so almost no turnover. I interviewed some candidates for sr software engineering position recently and their asking was $130k and some were coming from private sector.  $160-180k are for the highest payer in the area: google, Amazon, cap one etc. Realistically $140k is great pay depending on benefits.[/quote]

That is crazy, GS scale employees make that much with a lot more stability and a more fulfilling mission.[/quote]

Fulfilling is very relative…[/quote]

I know a lot of people at NASA, NRL, APL, and NSA which work on very cool things and have exciting missions that have real impact.  It’s not like all gov IT is setting up ServiceNow instances for the SSA. [/quote]

That is exactly my point, you think federal jobs are fulfilling and I don’t care about federal job and my job is very fulfilling. [/quote]
