My mother used to be a developer, she worked with .NET mostly for a company called ITC Infotech about 20ish years ago. Anyway, I found a old paystub of hers which was for 20K many years ago while helping her sort out some financial stuff. Which was interesting cause that was what I got as an intern with zero work-ex about 18 years later. (Obviously 20K was a lot more then than it was now). Her work was definitely frustrating as she jumped jobs to a couple of companies, Satyam and then later,Dell before deciding to do an MBA sometime in the 2010s.

EDIT: The values are in INR.



20 years ago was 2002. Even back in 1995 as an intern as a computer operator I was making the equivalent - $10/hour.

If she was working in .Net, it had to be after 2001. Your standard enterprise dev in any major city in the US was making on average $60k-$80K.


This might be in India, so converted from INR


We are in India.
