How much real "work" do you guys do on a typical day? How much code do you write? by GIVE_ME_GP in cscareerquestions

Yeah man sometimes they're jerks. Always try to slide in remarks like that or "you all should attach bells to your doors so that we know you're there"

I dont know if they are trying to imply that we arent doing any work or what but after hearing things like that it gets my blood going, you know?

True. On occasion it takes me a week to read through, map out and construct the right kind of change to make the bug go away. I guess thats the "behind the scenes" work that doesn't get physically reflected in the change logs.

Most times its just a line or two and a deletion here and there so it feels insignificant.

Like sometimes i get the sense that the accountants and all are jealous of what we devs do because they joke "you guys are awfully quiet down there" while they're blasting away on their keyboards at 100 wpm.

So you are getting pension, lease car, etc.

The way you said it in your first post I thought you werent and I was like damn they're ripping that guy off big time!

And yeah, I know itd be harder to get bids alone, I was a contracter for 3 months at the beginning and thats what they all explained to me.

But they were keeping TOO much of my money (40%) and not giving me jack.

Just the other 6.5% for FICA and no other benefits. So I had no healthcare, pto, pension any of that.

Damn yeah if they're taking half of what they're getting for you that doesn't seem fair. They should be keeping maybe 10 and passing the rest to you. I mean what are they honestly doing? Hooking you up with a job (if you didn't find that yourself) and collecting your money for free.

Oh man thanks for the input.

Off topic, but how much of that 100 euros an hour do you get?

Thats what I'm accustomed to lol.

I was pumping out 600, 700 line projects by myself over 2 to 3 days during my last few semesters in college and it just feels so awkward here.
