    I need a source for these stats, sir. I love them. I’d love to share them. But I need a source.

    Apparently Vettery is a startup

    Inferences:
    >Python is probably being pulled up by AI/ML/data analysis, unless you're in that field or in a hot new startup you probably won't benefit.
    >Java starts off marginally higher than C++ and ends marginally lower, the difference is hardly a few K USD and that feels more like noise to me.
    >Mainstream webdev doesn't pay as much as enterprise/embedded/AI&ML, what a surprise

    Besides, programming languages reflect their use, so I would say it's much more informative to provide salaries by domain (new back/front end webdev, legacy webdev, embedded, gaming, data stuff, enterprise software dev, etc.) instead of by language, since learning a language is easy but learning a domain is not and people within a domain can switch languages with relative ease.

    I'd be making like 50% more if I moved to Seattle. 🤔

    0 years - 100k
    What madness is this?

    @RememberMe I agree, domain and language would be more quantifiable then just language.

    All these languages have a broad range of uses and the "average" can be thrown out like it is here.

    @Haxk20 I'm thinking that's Silicon Valley pushing the average out here, again another problem with per language stats 🤷‍♂️

    @C0D4 yup, that too. Seattle is hardly comparable to the rest of the world, a lot of investment is concentrated there and it generates a lot of value, so naturally salaries are higher (also it's not cheap to live there at all)

    My takeaway is

    get a job in Java for the first 2 years and while doing fuck all learn Python and change to Py after 2nd year and then just ride that wave 🏄‍♂️

    I don't think 0 years means no experience. It's probably years over one job, so how it raises when you stay...
