I can't speak to the different parts of the US, but developers in Europe get wildly different salaries, and the differences are not wholly based on the location, size or stage of the company. In the past six months, I have seen UK junior positions that start as low as £22k (approx $33 USD). Most webdevs that I have seen go for £35-40k (approx $52-60k). In Germany, junior devs start around €40k in the north and €45k in the south. I note these are all lower than US salaries listed on glassdoor.com, but this is in part because of the extensive social welfare net provided by most countries in Europe (and that extends even to foreigners over here), for which employers have to pay a larger part than in the US.
- forcetenhen 16y agoI regularly see entry level positions around £15k - often a little less. From looking around relatively recently, if you want £30k+, you need to be project managing at the very least (in a buzzword-compliant sense that is). Things have picked up a bit lately if you're a Rubyist. Interestingly, the same companies paying £15-20k for perl/PHP coders have no problem dropping £30-40k on ruby.
- all 16y agoWhere are you looking? I am drawing from positions on Jobsite.co.uk. The lowest salary I can find in the posts of the past seven days is 22k: http://www.jobsite.co.uk/cgi-bin/advsearch?rownum=476&sess_no=1&jbe_exists=0&show_desc=Y&scc=UK&displayrows=25&ord=S&location_display= http://www.jobsite.co.uk/cgi-bin/advsearch?rownum=476&am...; Even the lowest one has a range up to 50k, and the next one up has a floor of 44k. These results are ranked in order of descending salary. NB: The OP did not say what kind of development post he is seeking.
