Not very useful without data about cost of living in those places (that's why you want to know about it in other places, right?). For example, Brazil is in a deep depression right now and BRL is devaluing fast, inflation is increasing, etc. What to make of the USD 18,966 figure? Nice presentation but I don't see the real point. Are you going set your US-located job's salary based on a global average? Choose the highe…

That data is freely available elsewhere. Salaries are harder to get.

what's interesting to see in the US data is that Ageism seems to exist. the most experienced person gets paid less.

Also it's interesting to note that every UX requirement these days asks for substantial coding experience (on top of everything else non-code related) yet the salaries are at par with a junior coder.

$90,000 is "at par with a junior coder"??? Maybe today, in San Francisco.

At my first dev job in LA, in the mid-2000s, I was making $57,000.

> "The average salary ... being $125,667 in Arizona."

This immediately struck me as preposterous, as I'm familiar with the local Arizona economy.

Then I saw that number is based on a sample size of 3 survey respondents. When your sample size is so small that the results are statistically meaningless, why even bother making such a claim?

I'd be really interested in data from China and Japan.

China has one of the fastest growing tech industry in the world. As for Japan, I really want to live there because of the high quality of life, but am hesitant since the tech industry doesn't look promising.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There wasn't anything secret about it.

I believe it was secret from people that do not work at Google? But I may be mistaken.

Well yes, that would have been quite distasteful if said spreadsheet had made its way out of Google.

But it was definitely not a secret internally.

Why can't we see median? That's also a really good metric to have... in fact it arguably makes even more sense because salaries have a long tail on the higher end which inflates the average by a large amount while moving the median in an easy to understand way.

Florida seems very high but only has 21 responses- are outliers filtered out? edit The 8 - 12 yrs exp range in FL has an average of 237,900 - this can't be right.

Indeed.com says most Angular jobs in Florida advertise $60,000 to $80,000 and a lot of those are actually back end jobs because the person who wrote the ad doesn't know what they're talking about
