To make any sense of the survey you would need to include location details like state/county.

I want to know too. Is this the norm?


no. they are yanking your chain.

see - http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Java-Developer-l-Virginia.html

we hire H1Bs for java developers with 2 to 6 years at 60 to 80K.

top salaries are in sv or for top clearances but these are rare and not the norm. People making that much are quickly replaced with younger people willing to work for less and more hours.

a good article on this is at - http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2014/07/

Also interested in the details of the software jobs, as a developer myself. Such as, what kind of development, what field, and what the heck is this "outside work" you all do to pull in an extra $85k?

Signed, Software developer, PhD + 15 years, kind of a niche specialty, ~$170k
