What's the highest paying job in the programming field? I'd say it all depends on how the business is doing.

Also depends on how large the company is. Small businesses sure in hell won't pay no 6 figure salary if even the owner isn't getting that! The larger the company you are working for (plus how much experience you have) the larger your check will be.

I suspect you've heard of Microsoft employees? They are these mythi.. erhm, programmers, who make well over $200,000 a year. If I was programming for MS and didn't make at least 400,000 I would be just a little bit pissed since Bill Gates is really, really rich.

Must be a loooong tiring job to program for Microsoft. But seriously $400,000? Jesus!

Yeah $400,000 seems a bit too much jayme. I heard that Microsoft hires some employees just so to keep them away from their competitors. Anyone heard anything similar?

I wasn't being specific, I was just being greedy. That is what I would want to make if I worked my ass off for MS. Wouldn't 200 be a little bit cheap for a multi-billion dollar company?

with microsoft (and companies at that level) its not just base salary, share options, benefits etc add a pretty large value to the job

o and erik wasn't trying to be rude, I just believe in the "if you dont have anything nice to say, say something stupid" rule I grew up with (i think thats how it went)
