What is the average salary for Perl programmers in 2020?
If I have no definitive answer on this, the Business Insider has some insights:
HackerRank polled 116000 developers about their salaries and got interesting results:
- Perl is associated with an average global salary of $84,025.50 (54.2% higher than the global average salary)
- Scala is associated with an average global salary of $77,159.60
- Go is associated with an average global salary of $72,691.30
- Python is associated with an average global salary of $56,670.90
- JavaScript is associated with an average global salary of $55,690
Without more information about the polled panel it’s hard to state this results as “Truth” but they seems to confirm personal beliefs:
- The salary is more linked to the scarsity of resources than to the trendyness of the associated technology.
- Perl resources are less and less available.
You know what ? It’s good to be a Perl programmer :-)
