That's almost always entirely on them. I can't think of any other profession where as much upward mobility can be achieved as efficiently.
I know several dozens of coders making 5 figures who haven't interviewed for 5+ years. Whose fault is that? If you consistently network/interview and have decent competence you're all but guaranteed to get an offer and position much higher than yours at least once a year, especially if someone wins a moonshot contract they did not expect. Obviously you want to market yourself as an architect/data scientist/all that in addition to coder but you can easily sell yourself as well rounded and then round out the kinks on the fly.

You're clueless. A good coder who knows how to leverage their talent can make over 200 grand a year putting in ~20 hours a week from anywhere in the world. You're the golden goose and tentpole for 7-8 figure contracts

Comment on: Finding Entry Level Positions
Talk successful looking people up at your gym, get them to talk about work, ask if their place is hiring, have them refer your resume.
It's what I do whenever I move (couple times a year) and I can usually bullshit my way into an 80k range in a new place within a week
Comment on: GitHub project containing technical interview question in JS - ES6/ES5. (Feel free to star, contribute, share the love!)
He's making fun of the fact that github has been overtaken by Social Justice Warriors who are intent on making code be politically correct and promoting diversity of transgendered people and shit. Please keep posting stuff like this, never know who it may help.

That deserves its own thread. Fucking poetic so many levels. I especially like how all the people attacking him can be grouped into fat problem glasses feminists with pink hair, neckbeard cucks and lgbtwtfbbqkins
Where do you work? I'd like to get my hands on some of that 1500 a day once I'm done living the laid back automated test engineering life later this year
