Salaries Offered for Perl, Php, Python and Ruby Positions
Future salary is a significant motivator for somebody to learn a new language (use it for a living). We used the OdinJobs Market Statistics tool to help us analyze which skill pays more. The market statistics tool helps analyze salaries offered in jobs targeting junior-mid level programmers and senior/Lead/Architect developers.
First we compared how salaries varied between a jr-mid level position and a senior level position within a language. The results are below.
Perl Median Salary Comparison
Senior level architects and lead programmers using perl earn 10% more than the developers. This is a median salary, which means a lot of variation in salaries is squished into a single number. In all jobs that required perl, the median salary was $80,560. The variations in median salary also varies according to locations but this chart has been generated for the entire United States.
