2.6 for u is already very good.

my story below.
Job Title: Software Engineer
Age: 25years old
Job Desciption : software development (support & maintenance mostly)
skills : Java, JSP, servlets, html, SQL. no fancy framework experience as company using plain old jsp servlets applications.
year of exp: 2 years.
salary : 2.5k (even tech support like my friend can earn more than me at 3k )


would like to ask, how's my salary? under over or just normal? im thinking to quit being a programmer as work load very heavy with OT all the time but being paid little. went to interview and those interviewers only offer me max 2.8, some even hesitate to give more than my current pay.

after seeing this topic http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/721431, im thinking of quit programming now as it seems like hardware infrastructure jobs are paid better than software developers.
