The 45k was in Houston. Worked 10 months before the company decided to offshore everybody but sales.
Took that job because I had been looking for a year and this was the first reasonable offer. Didn't negotiate cause I really needed the job, found out after a promotion that I was lowest paid employee in the shop by 20k.
What languages do you work in? I'm not trying to belittle you, but at the same time, I'm trying to understand how you've received such small offers. Your experience is EXTREMELY atypical for Houston/Texas.
