Answer 2

This depends heavily on the area you're working in, who you're working for, what kind of degree you have, years of experience, and other factors (like how good you are at salary negotiation):

Level 1: $55k / year

Level 2: $80k / year

Level 3: $100k / year

If you live around DC, this is probably about what you'll get.

If you live in BFE, and the cost of living is much lower, you can expect to get paid a bit less.

Based on these, you'll probably be making about $65k when you hit level 2. It would take a few years to get up to the average of $80k. Similarly for level 3.

It also depends on who you're working for in terms of benefits, retirement, 401(k) matching, education reimbursement (about the BEST thing you can do is get into a company that will reimburse you to get a better degree), etc...

You should look at the "total package," not just you'll make as a salary.

Answer 3

There is no single answer since pay is related to skill, experience and negotiation. In the UK, the average pay for a programmer with at least 2 years experience is around £40-50K.
