Software developers are among the highest-paid professionals on the job market. What should one expect on the first step of a programmer’s career and what are the general perspectives? These are the questions we’ve tried to answer in our research.
To answer these questions, we calculated the average software developer incomes in the different US states using salary estimators.
The rankings we created include 20 of the highest-paying states for developers, as well as the average developer salaries in the seven fastest-growing states for tech jobs.
We also took a look at the the location quotient of software developers by state. Apparently, Massachusetts, Virginia, Maryland, California, and Colorado have the highest concentration of engineers in the country, which is hardly surprising — these states offer some of the most generous salaries in the country.
