2017 STATE OF GLOBAL TECH SALARIES

For the second year in a row, Hired has tapped into its data to reveal insights into technology workers’ salaries and the hiring market more generally. Because Hired facilitates the job searching process from the initial interview request all the way to the final job offer, we have unprecedented visibility into salaries across a variety of positions and companies. Most of the tools available to companies and job seekers are flawed and inaccurate. Salary calculators don’t account for company size, years of candidate experience or location, while many job sites are based on anonymous, self-reported data which can vary widely in accuracy. Hired’s data, on the other hand, is based on actual job offers made to real people.

This second edition of Global State of Tech Salaries report is part of our larger effort to bring more transparency to the hiring process and provide an inside look at the compensation landscape for tech workers. As a result of our recent expansion into France, Australia and Singapore, we now have access to salary information in 16 of the world’s biggest tech markets, and have broadened this year’s report to reflect our truly global reach. Moreover, we recently began collecting voluntary demographic data from candidates on our platform, which allows us to analyze how race, age and bias can impact one’s salary.

The salary between races is a call to action as to why there is a $10,000 difference and the salaries tend to fall once a candidate is 50 or older.  Women are not mentioned in the salary breakdown as well.  Developers that are looking for new offers will have to keep in mind that these salary structures are based on experience, skill level and whether the company wishes to put that much into you.
