Do you have some statistics for this? Also, most of the inflationary damage was done in the last 3 years. Unless 10 years ago you started at a very low salary

Do you have some statistics for this? Also, most of the inflationary damage was done in the last 3 years.
Unless 10 years ago you started at a very low salary I don’t think they’ve gone up significantly after inflation. If you were already a senior engineer 10 years ago for example.
- latency-guy2 3y agoUse BLS. Compensation for the average employee profile of "Software Developer" has far exceeded inflation. I can't remember the exact timeframe, but roughly 2016 - 2022, salary for the profile of Developer has gone from ~$86k to ~$130k mean. I think that beats inflation quite significantly.
- epicureanideal 3y agoOk, so that fits with what I'm noticing among my peers. The lower and middle salary range of developers is continuing to increase, but not a lot ($86k in 2016 is equivalent to $110k now), whereas the high end is not increasing very much or is losing to inflation slightly (people who were already earning $150-200k or more base salary in 2016, the start of the reference range you mentioned).
