I almost added that, but I'll be real, I have no clue what a junior programmer is lmao

For all I know it's the equivalent to a journeyman or something

Most programmers don't go on many journeys, it's more like a basementman.

Junior programmer is who trains the interns and manages the actual work the seniors take credit for.

I thought Junior just meant they only had 3 or 4 pair of programming socks.

I was gonna say, if this person is making $145k, they are not a β€œjunior” in any realistic sense of the term. It would be nice if computer programming and software development became a legitimate profession.
