Well, at least in latin america US 5000&amp;#x2F;Year is &lt;i&gt;normal&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;p&gt;A lot of good developers I know are clearly below the hour rate one in USA get. We do it because we love to programming, but here is well know that is very hard to be &amp;quot;rich&amp;quot; as a developer.&lt;p&gt;In fact, that is why I quit my job then do my own projects, consulting and freelance: I still not get a lot of money -however, I charge more than a lot of my peers (us 30-40&amp;#x2F;h), but certainly can work with things I like more.</text></comment>

A $20,000 salary would equate to $9.62 per hour given a 40 hour work week. That doesn&amp;#x27;t seem to make since for a full-time developer.</text></comment>
