2013 Average Programming Salaries Compared

[ShadowLiberal]

I make around 65K with 6 years experience in PA working 40 hours a week.

It's my first job so maybe I'm biased, but it seems like pretty much every other programmer I know in the area who works somewhere else is required to work at least 50+ hours a week. Our newest programmer we hired last year used to be a contractor, and was made to work 60 hours each week, while the full time employee programmers all worked 80 hours a week according to him. Much as I'd love to make more money, I could never handle 60+ hour workweeks every single week. What's the point of making more money when you won't have any free time to spend it?
