Any idea how a "web developer" in Japan make $86K while a "software developer" in Japan only makes $31K?
They don't provide methodology, or any decent description of categorization; this infographic is worse than useless, it obviously has an agenda.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Indeed. Graduates aren't even far off starting on around £25k+ in the UK[1]. Somebody with a good few years experience can quite easily get almost double that. [1] - http://targetjobs.co.uk/career-sectors/it-and-technology/286...
Where I live grad salaries are 18 - 22k
Canada's salary points seem really low....or there's a lot of "you must know everything and we'll pay you minimum wage" jobs that they're scooping from the Canadian Job Bank. From that list, I want to be heading to either Australia or the US. Also for PHP dev average, where do you get 75k for junior, and 100k+ or senior? Sure isn't Canada. 75k here is senior level salary, and that's in Toronto. I've only ever seen on…

Here is the text, but the main part is the image: Are you a Developer or Designer curious about your potential salary in different countries? You’ve come to the right place. Below are some averages of yearly salaries per country. As it seems, the best paying countries for Web Developers are Australia (87K $), Japan (86K $), the US (76K $) and Canada (60K $), while the lowest paying countries are India (12K $), Malays…
Eu generally has 50%+ tax rates, and a ~20% VAT on anything you want to spend, combining (roughly) to between 60% and 70% of your income disappearing in govt. coffers.
California seems to have slightly under 50% taxation, combined with 4.7% VAT. Which combines to 53-55% taxation.
So US is not just well-paid, but you actually get to keep a bigger part of that. From a $76k pay you could have ~$30k disposable income after rent (outside of SF proper), while the $50k in the EU, you'd be lucky to get $15k disposable income after rent out of that (and that's ignoring that tech stuff is more expensive to start with before the tax even comes into the picture).
Of course some people make this(and much more), but we are talking on average so this number it's false.
These seem to be quite high, especially the Australian salaries. The average web developer here earns $93,000 AUD?[1] That means that half of web developers are earning more than that. That's substantially higher than the national median household income of $63,000 AUD [2] [1]: As few have pointed out, this is correct if we assume the graphic meant average == median. But my point still stands: A reasonable chunk of p…
