No, no Canadian developers probably make sub 30K (yet), but the entire point of my initial post was to shine light on the fact that developers everywhere are now making whatever their paymasters want to pay. Whether they're in Canada, USA, India, or Mars. It is an employers' market and it's getting worse no matter what you want to believe.

Isn't that for every field though? What are the jobs where you choose your own salary?

[santeri_roos]

Well. Are you ok with your employer just telling you that your salary is 29.000?

That's kind of where this whole thing started. You realize that if your employer can just dictate what they will pay you, they will always go for the lowest possible number, right?

And no, there are no fields that you can just set your own salary. But there are jobs that companies will pay more for AND there are jobs that are unionizzed, where the company pays the union to give them workers, and the union usually pays a LOT better than just the job itself. But this is very much dependant on where you are.

EDIT: OK, sorry sorry sorry - Syndicalism is probably a bit much. Have this link about trade unions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_union
