what is the average salary for a software engineer?

The question depends on location.  Localized pay is the standard now for this skill.  I work as a software engineer in San Angelo, Texas, and garner 51k.  This is a very low cost place to live and work.  If I were to transfer these skills to a metro area like San Antonio, I have been offered 90k to live and work there.  I have also received offers for 120k for Hawaii, and 90-110 for Washington D.C.  \n\nI am semi-retired and don't need a big move or change in my life, and I am very happy with the freedom I have here to be creative and productive in ways that make me happy.  Money is important, but job satisfaction and the people you work for will dictate the balance you desire in a salary.\n\nBut I would give you a word of caution.  Many companies are trying to get software engineers ala carte.  They will hire based on limited time periods (contracts of 6 months, or 1-5 years) to apply their skills against a specific project until that project is no longer being worked.  Make sure you attempt to hire on as a permanent employee, and not a contract employee.\n\nFinally, you skills will determine how much you catch the eye of an employer.  Make sure your skills are what the industry is looking for in the location that you are looking.

k is a short form of 'kilo'. \n1 kilbyte is actually equal to 1024 bytes. But it is customary to round it to 1000. People in the computer industry have a tendency to use their technical terms in their day to day communication as well. So, 6k-8k salary means the salary will be in the range of 6000 to 8000.

There are NO jobs in computers out there for Americans.  All the computer work is being outsourced to India.  If  you have a PhD and can work for less than $1.50/hr, then you might find some place that will hire you.\n\nIn the US, there are about 500,000 skilled software engineers out there begging to work for a fair wage.  Most would be happy to work for $50K or less.

Based on my reserach, the basic salary is between $36,000 and $52,000. The variance depends on (1) your experience, (2) the state in which you work, and (3) the size and strength of the firm at which you work.

$80/hour may be a good rate for an American engineer depending on the field of expertise.  But it also depends on what other benefits are included, such as a living allowance, transportation allowance and round-trip airfare to and from the workplace (if it's out of the country).  If I was only paid $80/hour and nothing else, it would not be a good rate to me.

Depends on what field the degree is in... $20k-500k/year.  Please be more specific.\n\n*One friend of mine is a programmer at West Publishing.  He earns $52k.  Another friend of mine is an ISNT junior (help desk) for a hospital.  He earns $40k.  Both have been at their jobs for 5 years.  I would have to guess $32k for a starting salary with a private company.  If you can, get a job with the government or large institute.  Your benefits will be among the best available and you're almost guaranteed a 5% raise per year.  Get your foot in the door working at a help desk.  Dealing with morons for a few years is a small price to pay when you will be making $50k a few years later.\n\nGood Luck
