Thanks. I browsed through the job ads with keen interest, hoping to find something that could possibly pay more. Sadly for me, most of the list seems to be in the US. Ah well, hopefully the ecological software job market will expand so that competition for developers will also raise our salaries.
A somewhat sad thing is that ecological analysts (who are the principal users of my software) get paid a lot less than I do because our employers don't have to compete as much in order to hire them. For software developers, employers have to get their pick from the general pool of software developers who can generally get relatively high-paying jobs elsewhere, so that prevents my salary from going down too much. My salary, however, is about 60% more than a greenhouse gas analyst. This somehow seems unfair, but I don't know how to fix it.
