Well in America, developer is the current "hot" career if you wanna make bank and rightly so, you can make a great salary. However the "business types" politicize the position since it's trendy right now and do all sorts of undesirable things like looking for "10x" or "rockstar" devs, etc. It's really just an excuse to have you on call 24/7. Some jobs, you go home, but you never really clock out of work. Well, if you even make it home; you could end up always travelling for your work.

But at least it's a romanticized and well paid position, unlike system admin, who may work the same hours but will never have the "cool" job.

    It refers to the growth in value that the developer typically provides. It's an extreme buzzword.

    @bahua are 10x engineers additive or multiplicative?

    If you're talking to a recruiter, they're EXPONENTIAL. If you're talking to a normal person, they sit at a computer.

    False bro, u r speaking about the forest when u r only watching a single tree.

    I am Mexican, moved to NY 3y ago and have been working for different clients in wall street (big banks).

    Official schedule 9-6, I haven't arrived a single time at 9 or left at 6pm, never worked under pressure, my bosses are super happy with my work and never had more time for myself ever.

    And my income is 135k a year bro, next year will apply for a 160+ position at another company Company

    Are they still doing the 10x rockstar thing? I thought that passed.
