What they earn by country

The same profile is priced differently depending on where it sits. For developers, that's the case for going remote. For companies, it's the map of where your budget stretches furthest.

Senior · USD/mo

What moves your salary inside the range

Two engineers with the same title can sit at opposite ends of the table. This is what separates them.

English level

It's the filter that opens or closes the roles paying in dollars. Without it, your ceiling drops fast.

Depth in the stack

Knowing a framework is not the same as keeping a production system alive with it.

Who hires you

A global product company and a local agency pay very differently for the same work.

How you're assessed

A real technical assessment places you by what you can build, not by the years on your CV.

For developers
