I hear a lot of whining that the software jobs in Vermont don't pay well.

I was just poking around Technical Connection's website and saw a .NET Developer job for $100,000, a C++ job advertised as "highly competitive for Vermont" and a SQL Server DBA job for $80K+.

When I first moved to Vermont 6 years ago, during the dot com BOOM, I had to get a mortgage and the mortgage broker said I had to get a full time w-2 job. I had a hard time, with my 20 years of experience, finding a job over $50,000.

So seeing these jobs in the $80-$100K range is awesome.
