Link para seçãoCompany Size
It should come as no surprise that larger companies have the means to pay higher salaries. Not only that, but respondent income is much more likely to have increased over the past year if they worked for a big company.
Link para seçãoJob Title
As seen in other surveys, carrying the engineer title is correlated with higher income compared to being “just” a developer.
Another point worth noting: on aggregate, frontend jobs feature more gender diversity than other positions.
Link para seçãoYearly Income
Link para seçãoIncome Evolution
Despite fears of an industry downturn, only 9% of respondents reported having seen their income decrease over the past year.
Norway, Ireland, and South-Africa-based respondents were the most likely to have seen their income increase.
Link para seçãoNumber of Applications
While respondents needed a median of 4 job applications to find their current job overall, that number decreased as respondents' years of experience went up.
That being said, a slight increase was present at the higher end of the experience curve, which could be explained by age discrimination, or by out-of-date skills making the job search harder.
Link para seçãoJob Finding
Having a more personal connection to the company when applying (as opposed to going through a job board or social media) is associated with a higher income.
The one exception is being hired through open-source work, which is associated with the same income levels as more direct methods such as recruiters or referrals.
Link para seçãoRemote Work
The lack of remote work is correlated with both lower median income and lower job satisfaction (as expressed on a scale from 1 to 5).
Link para seçãoWork Hours
The more you work, the more you earn, at least up to a point. India is the hardest-working country with 45 median hours worked per week, while most other countries are all gathered around the 40-hour mark.
Link para seçãoJob Happiness
Developers are overall pretty happy with their job – provided they can endure the first 10 years, that is.
Link para seçãoWorkplace Perks
Going against the stereotype of the asocial computer nerd, it turns out the thing that we value the most is actually each other; with relationships with coworkers coming in as the number one item developers enjoy about their workplace.
Link para seçãoWorkplace Difficulties
At the end of the day, we all need to make a living, and poor compensation came in first as the top workplace issue developers are facing today.
