I’m a tech recruiter and I have to say most of these figures really are generalised, but they are good for highlighting the pay gaps between countries.
It comes down to your experience, technical capability and value of what you bring to the hypothetical table.
Always here to answer questions on this topic.
Also, I can potentially point you in the right direction for new tech roles😉

Great article! My dream is working for USA based company.

A GR8 write with loads of info, it looks like the strong hold of industry and technology has the grip on the world wide market.
