Programmer here. I feel like I'm underpaid and overworked

You already fucked up when you chose to be a programmer

I digress because my education (MSc compsci) will permit me easy path to senior programmer / project lead positions. I'm not aiming to remain codemonkey, which this workplace would cause me to remain.

How long have you been working there? Is it your first real professional gig?

>underdelivery by workplace to match my expectations
No one will overpay you and underworked is also a pretty rare thing.

>tfw don't get paid a lot but it also feels like I don't do a lot of work.

Should I stay or should I go now?

>After how many months it's advisable to start looking for new jobs considering this is my first programming work?

If you hold a job under 2 years, it will look suspicious and throw up red flags.

Jesus have some self respect. I live in the midwest and that is shit even for here.

Consulting or product?
If consulting, bear it for one year and then run away.

Fuck you I get 23k/year

Fuck working for other people. You're wasting your talents. Write programs yourself and sell them for profit or do freelance work.

You are underpaid, we're all wage slaves

I'm an apprentice electrician and I make more than you to bend pipe and pull wire all day. You're getting fucked bad.
