6/12    Do QAs make less money than software engineers?  Say both a QA and a
        software engineer have five years of experience, how to the typical
        salaries compare?  Thx.
        \_ Generally yes, but my understanding is the gap goes away once
           you get into management level jobs.
           \_ Then you're not QA or engineer.  You're "manager".
        \_ Depends on the company. Cisco and Sun both paid QA and Development
           roughly the same (w/ 5-10K) for people in the same grade. Though
           there were a lot more MTS4 and Staff Eng. in Development.
