[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]one of the last american born software developer at a large corporation.  make $148K plus 10% after 30 years of Assembler, Fortran, C, C++, Java, Ruby and what else.  It was a great ride in the 80's and 90's.    Turned shaky in mid 2000's and now just hanging in there until they fire me and replace me with another developer from india or china and I start over again with whatever language is next.  Would like to be able to work normal hours and not feel like I am going to be fired every day.

Technology, outsourcing, a growing temp staffing industry, productivity efficiencies, have all replaced the middle class.  Everyone is getting fired. Everyone is toilet paper now.  All 3 houses directly by us in our quiet suburban neighborhood have people, in 50's and up, that have been fired in last 2 years.  PM, Architect, Tech Writer, it doesn't matter.  There is no security in IT.

I am sorry. I see the same situation around me. The senior technical people who become government contractors seem to retain some stability and command higher salaries. The trade off is that some projects are so incredibly disorganized and boring.[/quote]
