It’s really interesting to sort that country list by median, then by mean, each time looking for the USA.

That's wealth though. OP is asking about income.

[cheschire]

Yes, so isn’t it interesting that all that high income isn’t translating into high median wealth?

The question was specifically about software developers.

It could be that the US underpays on average relative to the rest of the world, but they definitely overpay software developers relative to the rest of the world.

Where did you infer OP was talking specifically about software development? The question states “remote jobs” which can refer to any number of knowledge worker positions.

[whiddershins]

not remotely interesting. Software developers aren't median, why would you expect them to move the median?
