What's the typical salary for J2EE developer with 2-3 years of experience working in metro areas?

Is 55-65K about the range nowadays?

I checked but they seem to be on the high end scale.

What do you mean? You can specify your experience level (I, II, III, ...) to adjust the pay range.

 

[AgentEL]

also, which metro area in particular?

You need to be more specific WHERE you are looking, there's a huge difference in salary between New York & Ohio

You might as well have said Mars/Venus

You enter in your city or zip code into salary.com's database as well.

2-3 years experience you're probably looking at 70-80k in metro areas. Might be a little less in the south. You'll definitely make 70k+ in seattle.

Salary.com only gives me a big range, which is not very helpful:

Chicago: $54,268 - $89,125

Seattle: $55,325 - $90,862

An experienced developer will know that he's worth a lot, and not have to start a pointless thread about it.

Look up the salary range on Salary.com, then take $10k off of the lowest amount in the range.

Same for all fields.

Exactly...when you have doubts on your worth your are not in the game.

I am making a bit less than I want right now due to some events at my current company.

If my year-end review doesn't change that then I move on.

My wife was a J2EE developer...worked mostly national projects back in Japan.

We met on a programming job while she was on H1B...we later married. Her current love is designing floorsets/visual impact for her mall fashion store.

I'd hate her job....too much for too little.

I don't do J2EE...I do a bit of JScript though ...anyway, salary.com is pretty accurate if you are with your skillsets.

Unless you are working for a legitimate company your time in the field means nothing. We get resumes from 18 year olds all the time with 10+ years experience on them in programming and their resume states "Taco Bell" basically professionally.

Everyone has "Consultant" on them.
