THE RESULTS FROM O’REILLY’S SECOND ANNUAL
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SALARY SURVEY ARE IN.
This anonymous online survey ran last fall and winter and attracted
more than 6,800 programmers, tech leads, managers,
and students—an increase of more than 1,000 respondents
compared to 2016. The respondents were from 110 countries,
including all 50 US states and the District of Columbia.

similar companies and positions, and find out what roles,
tools, work styles, organizational skills, and work environments
correlate with the highest salaries.
If you are looking to change jobs, about to have your annual
employee review, or moving to a new town, this report will
help you benchmark your skills and salary expectations. You’ll
learn where you fit and how you might leverage these potentially
career-changing findings.
Note
When calculating salary values, we omitted responses from
people who identified themselves as students (about 6.5% of
respondents) to offset the negative skew on reported earnings
from those trying to balance part-time or full-time work with
their academic load. All salary numbers in this report exclude students,
but student responses are used in some charts to compare
skills and tools used by students versus professionals.
