Average salaries of software engineers placed by Hirewell in 2021, by quarter:
Q1 = $113k
Q2 = $119k
Q3 = $127k
(All levels, all coding languages)
Two things we can pull from this:
1. Salary inflation is real.
2. Salary inflation is happening so fast, historic salary data is useless.
I’ll go out on a limb and say our Q4 averages will be above that $127k number.
If you’re looking for guidance from any of the salary info sites: stop.
If you were going by a blended average of the last 12 months, you’d be pumping out lowball offers.
The real numbers are determined in real time, in the market. Not what some web site tells you.
