I know multiple people who have jobs using kdb+, and I use an array language myself for work.

Every type of job site will have postings that are way below market rate. The market rate for kdb+ devs is well above that, I can assure you.

So would you please give me an idea of what market rate is for a senior dev working with kbd+ in NYC? Roughly? If it's well above 180,000, what is it? Thank you.

And I don't mean quants. I mean software developers.

And yes, it's true that every job category will have outliers (high and low), but after spending some time several years ago looking at jobs and speaking with recruiters, I'm skeptical. I've enjoyed learning about array languages, and had heard the rumors of high kbd+ salaries, which is why I was curious.

And I get that kbd+ is just a technology, and much more depends on individual qualifications. So let's say, an experienced, highly-qualified senior dev who has taught themselves kbd+, just for arguments sake.
