Apparently, knowing assembly decreases your salary: https://imgur.com/a/8c9fL
I'm going to bet that "knowing Assembly" is (in this case) a proxy for age. Older devs are more likely to know it, and older devs face enormous amounts of discrimination.

False. Maybe YCombinator/Hacker News startups rarely use .NET, but have you heard of Microsoft's BizSpark program? .NET is really popular with startups internationally as well as in middle USA.
Azure works with plenty of open source technologies. Just because a stack is hosted in Azure, doesn't mean it's inherently a .NET stack
Yeah, but only 1 in 3 Azure deployments are Linux, Linux support is recent, and BizSpark has been around since 2009. The fact is– if you dismiss the .NET startups you are certainly ignoring part of the picture.

#153If i am not mistaken the salaries given for the US is what the company actually pays, but the salaries given for France it's not what the company pays. We (the french) discuss our salaries in 'brut' (gross) and are never aware of what we actually cost. The company will pays something (close) up to 42% more of this gross value. So i suspect the difference between US salaries and French (and probably german, uk) is unfair.

#154Wow apparently i’m underpaid. I make $63k as a full stack .NET web developer in Knoxville, Tennessee. I have always dreamed of moving to Seattle and joining a startup. How can I make that dream a reality? I’ve tried applying to a bunch of places and got nothing but rejections.
Move here. Once you're local you'll start getting calls.
Amazing that we have such a shortage of talent, yet the talent needs to move without jobs in order to get hired...

I think it's "accurate enough". How much closer can you expect? The purpose of these calculators is to let folks know whether or not they're in the "right ballpark" when considering salary for job offers. $14K less than your salary is still very much the right ballpark for your job.
That's the point, I dont think, in my search example, a full stack developer with an MS and 5 years experience is going to be making ~90-127k 25th-75th percentile. Sounds like he'd be getting ripped off.
Well, it's a starting point. When coming up with a salary range for themselves, candidates have more homework to do than to simply punch a few numbers into a calculator.
Any expectations of accuracy better than 10-15% are unrealistic.
In many markets 100K+ is quite nice for an MS-degree'd 20-something with a few years of experience.

It's not about Linux deployments.
Our nodeJS and angular deployments in Azure's managed app services are hosted in IIS.
If you are only counting the OS as an indication of .NET or no .NET, your numbers are severely inaccurate.
I could count on a single hand the amount of job postings for 'startup/startup-ish' companies that had a .net stack.
Edit: https://stackshare.io/application_and_data#! Somewhat anecdotal but still better than nothing..

You might consider remote work. I live in middle Tennessee and have been working on distributed teams for seven years.
Contact me (see profile) if you have any questions.

#159The Salary chart is interesting, both because of how US developers earn more than other Western countries, but mainly how a median developer with 20 years experience earns 60% more than a first job developer. I wonder how many other professions have that low a rate of pay increase - or maybe its just grads are overpaid, not sure.
I think some of this is just compression over time. I'm at exactly 20 years experience, and I currently make 500% what I made in my first year. That's more of a statement about salaries in 1997 than salaries now, though. I think the low-end has moved dramatically upwards, while the top-end hasn't increased as quickly.

But are you adjusting for inflation or comparing 1997 dollars to 2017 dollars?
(which you can do here:)
