We are all professionals. Just like a doctor, lawyer, or accountant etc. Try
getting your boss, your lawyer, or company accountant to configure your
servers and write some code so the clients can login to their accounts and
access their latest records. I have a hard enough time having them use their
email. There is a limited number of programmers out there; fewer than
doctors, lawyers or accountants. So use this to your advantage and ask what
your skills are worth in a free market, which is more than your getting now.
The market might be a bit slow now but it will turn around. You don't see
other professionals looking to take less because of a slow job market.
It's a good time to look around and send out your resume. Never hurts
to have open options.
If your not being paid a professional salary then that's a problem, not just
for you, but all the other programming professionals out here. If you'll
accept $30k a year to code than that brings my salary potential down. I want
more not less. It's OK if you're a beginner and just starting out but if you
have more than 2 years experience, then you should be paid more. I think
$60k - $100k would be appropriate depending on location and skills. Don't
sell yourself short because then everyone losses.
