$340,800/year. If that doesn't make a material difference to your company or department you've never worked where cash is tight. More bluntly: you've been spoilt with excess resources. That's a lot of cash to waste.

There's now an entire generation of programmers, all the way up through senior/staff level, that's known nothing but the free-money era.

It will be an interesting next few years.

I know how to multiply by 12, thanks. I asked the previous commenter if the $340,800 actually made a difference and he hasn't replied.

I can't speak for him, so for myself: some years ago I had to almost beg for a new disk for a server. A disk. I didn't even bother to ask if we could have a bigger server, no point trying.
