I was thinking about exactly this earlier today -- I&#x27;m almost <i>suspicious</i> about my level of compensation. I work for a reputable company doing straightforward development, but the stars aligned, so to speak, in the timing of my offer, and I&#x27;m probably making twice as much as the average programmer with my experience in my region. I&#x27;m good at stuff, but I&#x27;m not <i>twice</i> as valuable. I just wonder if this is going to last.
