Ask HN: How do SMBs afford such expensive software engineers in the US?
9 by mnming | 7 comments on Hacker News.
According the multiple sources, software engineers in the US earns, on average, $100K per year. Software engineers in all other major countries earns about $30K - $60K on average. These countries include: Japan, China, Australia, Germany, Canada. However, if we looked up average household income, these countries aren't too different from the US. And I don't believe American coders are twice the better than coders in the other countries. I can understand that FAAG pull up the average salaries and they can easily afford it. My question is how do SMBs in the US hire engineers under this type of fierce salary competition?
