How Much Developers Make Per City, and Tech Stacks (Infographic)

Hey guys, I just want to clear up some confusion that we didn't see coming - The infographic was meant to represent the developers using GroupTalent back in July. I think folks got a little confused when we started drawing comparisons to the industry as a whole.<p>Sorry about that! We've removed the misleading parts to avoid any further confusion. Thanks!

Senior Developers: "Most use backbone.js"<p>Junior Developers: "Learning their way around Javascript and Rails of Python"<p>... is this a joke?<p><i>edit</i> - Written before superKinz explanation below. It makes sense when placed in the proper context.

I'm not sure what you based your $209k number on, since you don't cite an average hourly rate. However, its not terribly surprising. Full cost of an employee is usually estimated at 2-2.5x salary, so on an average of $93k salary, the hourly rate must be about what one would expect.<p>Full cost of employee means salary, benefits, physical space, equipment, social security, etc. Also worth noting that its unusual for developers to work more than 48 weeks out of the year; not sure if you took this into account.

"all mobile developers are mid-level developers."<p>uhhh... what?

People that use average to describe the middle of non-symmetric distributions are dumb.

I use backbone.js, underscore.js etc.. heavily in my work. I primarily code in front end but I have only a year of mainstream experience. Where does that place me in this stack. I think this is the misconception recruiters are not picking me for junior/mid level positions and I get calls for senior level positions and then they drop me cause of less experience. backbone.js ! = more experience

Ruby used by 14% of <i>all</i> developers. Yeah right.<p>I'm guessing this is highly oriented towards web developers. Not all developers make iPhone apps and web sites. Your demography (what kind of developers are included in this survey) is not clearly stated here.

Your website took forever to load from my phone. Granted, i was in a 3G zone and not 4G but that happens. It was the text which took a good long while followed by the info graphic i didn't bother to wait for. Just a heads up.

This site is broken on an iPad...scrolling doesn't work at all

These comments are hilarious.<p>People just nit pick on the details without discussing the trends the post talks about. Cmmon guys!

What about Chicago or Dallas. Surely not all programmers live in four cities on the coasts

there appears to be an error in the charts for salary by city.<p>the bottom two salaries are both 50k, it seems like the second one should be 60k
