Today, we discuss software engineer salaries. In particular, I talk about some of my engineering salaries, factors that influence your pay, and what reasonable ranges are based on experience level. 

I share all of these things with the hope of combatting the stigma around money discussions and helping you to have a bit more information on your side when it comes time to find or negotiate a job. Cheers!
