Salary Progression of a Software Developer 2.5 YOE
I went to the cheapest state school near me and got a degree in Information Systems and a minor in Computer Science. I am in United States so currency is USD. Thought this would be cool to share for anyone similiar to see what's out there and other peoples progression. I googled something like this a while ago and didn't see much talk so thought it would be cool to share for younger devs or older devs to get a feel for what they could be worth.
