Everything is relative of course, but can you back up your claim with some numbers?

Where do you live? What salaries and compensation packages are you seeing?

Well, ok, I guess it's not that grim. Still, it's a pretty crappy job.

> The specific technologies that developers use also impact salary. This year, the technologies most associated with high salary include Go, Scala, Redis, and React.

Surprised me seeing Scala in there, thought it was basically dead now. My last experience with seeing it in a codebase and using (or trying to use) SBT, I was kind of hoping it was.

If you had your choice, would you do something else? Like being in finance or becoming a dentist?
