Salaries in the Realm of Design
- beoba 16y agoWhat's the difference between a "Software Engineer", a "Software Engineer/Programmer", and a "Software Developer"? The BLS has categories of "Computer Software Engineer" and "Computer Programmer" which are fairly well defined[1]. The gist of their definition is that the prior actually works out the design and implementation, whereas the latter would just be converting literal instructions to code without as much thought put into the process. Or at least that's how I interpreted it, see http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos303.htm http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos303.htm . [1] However, even their definition is becoming less clear: "As software design has continued to advance, and some programming functions have become automated, programmers have begun to assume some of the responsibilities that were once performed only by software engineers."
- olalonde 16y agoTo be honest, I wouldn't trust any of this data at all. 45,000$ for a Software Engineer in the UK... wtf? This was my salary as a web developer in Canada out of high school. I'd be extremely surprised that we have higher IT salaries than in the UK...
- tptacek 16y agoWow, that's a bad infographic.
- buckwild 16y agoI literally laughed out loud when I saw this. I have relatives in india, who are good software engineers (but not AMAZING), and they get WAY WAY more than $6000 USD a year. Infographic Fail.
- moomba 16y agoThis data is clearly incorrect. Sr. Software Engineers make much more than $89k in the US. I've been working less than 2 years at a large company as my first job and already make more than this as a "Software Engineer".
- timcederman 16y agoAre you in the Bay Area, NYC, or Boston? Salaries listed are likely an average across the entire country.
