I make less than that and also at least it’s a job. Lots of people aren’t able to get jobs. Even if it’s low for you, it’s actively furthering your career.

For context, you’re making a bit more than the annual median salary in the US in an entry level position. That’s really nothing to be ashamed of. For SWE it’s obviously not an amazing salary (no offense, just trying to be realistic) but considering your location and level, I don’t think that’s really anything to be upset about. And at least you have your foot in the door to move upwards or elsewhere for better pay later on

My boss that was overseeing my internship got cut in April. Legit had to call his manager and be like “Uhh, what now?” Former boss is squirming cuz the job market is shit (still text him on the side he was chill), manager was like, we kinda forgot about you, don’t get into trouble, check your email for some small work that might come through, and we’ll pay you through the end of it. Was a pretty chill way to end things, but needless to say I wasn’t getting a job from them.

yeah pretty shit even for entry level position, definitely use it as a stepping stone to get something better
