The meager wages for full stack and backend developer are correct for where I live (Vancouver, CA) except the lowest tier is not low enough. It would be nice to see the raw data too so I can run my own stats on them. Give this calculator a public API

#22Meh, garbage. I always see these things that are significantly off, by like $60,000 or more. You're not asking the important questions that relate to earnings: - Were you born in America or has your employer held your pay down because you have a green card? - How many times have you changed jobs (each time probably leads to a $15k bump or more!) What garbage. If you're going to do an analysis like this try to teach u…
I'm so sorry that someone created a free tool to explore an interesting and unique data set using basic summary statistics. Shame you had to waste your time looking at that kind of garbage.

#28Seems inaccurate for SF.
It was saying that half of devs were making less than $90k for 3 years of experience. I find that hard to believe. Yes, maybe that's the listings but I think it's insane to think you get paid that when almost every company here past seed stage will pay $100k+ for any new dev.
