    Default proper salary range for software engineer?

    Hello-

    I've been working as a software engineer for nine years. Recently I recieved JSV and an trying to apply several companies, one of them offered me a job with NZD60K per year.
    It was much below than my expectation and will reject the offer, but wondering how much salary is proper for 9 yr's engineer.
    As I searched, 80-100K is presented for a senior software engineer, but how many experience does a engineer need to be a senior engineer?

    Years experience isn't the only measure of a senior software developer... It also includes complete knowledge of the SDLC, end to end, able to lead and mentor, self manage and deliver projects, gather and/or understand requirements, plus local market experience. Years wise, it starts, I would suggest, around 5-7 years proffesional experience.

    For what's worth, 80k is the median, which means some above, some below!
