What are salaries (for experienced) in Sydney nowadays?

[jamesrichardson]

Hey Zerr, as usual, it depends. I'll give you an anecdotal rundown with the caveat that ours fall somewhere in the middle.

I'm discounting the traditional "point and click" development roles (enterprise code to spec) and going more to the companies that encourage real agile - mindset and philosophy. I'm also referring specifically to open source (my personal experience):

Juniors: $45-65k Mid: $75-96k Senior: $100k upwards and thats the one with the greatest flux. These are all ex. of Superannuation (now 9.5%) I would say if you're a true "senior" i.e. able to independently develop features, run your own sprints, mentor and handle Juniors, a subject matter expert for your company; out of Startup, you should be aiming for $120k +, but then there's additional bits like increased super, bonus, holidays etc. In startup, you'll expect some of the base to be shaved for either stock/bonus etc.

Sorry there's so many caveats, but hopefully there's something useful here.
