According to CNN we all will get around 2-3% pay increase next year. I’ll believe it when I see it. Most software development jobs seem to be pretty stagnant in pay lately, unless you live in one of the few hotspots. Also I wonder if they take into account the constant benefit cuts folks go thru each year.
