.NET Developer Salary - A high-paying legacy technology
-
In the United States of America a .NET developer earns an average salary of about $106,952 per year according to Glassdoor. However this amount falls anywhere between $74k/yr on the lower end to $156k on the higher end. Multiple factors such as the region that the developer lives in, the cost of living and the experience level of the developer decide the salary that they earn. As we have covered in the latest sections, developers in areas with a lower cost of living generally earn less than those with higher costs of living such as the USA.
We checked a couple other platforms for the mean .NET developer salary. Ziprecruiter showed this amount to be about $97,616 on average although they quoted a range of $51k to $134k/yr. Talent.com on the other hand says that the average .NET developer salary is about $109,991 which is pretty close to the amount stated by Glassdoor.
Junior and senior developer salaries across the three platforms also vary considerably. Junior developers earn about $91000/yr according to Glassdoor whereas ZipRecruiter and Talent.com state this amount to be about $78k and $79k/yr respectively. The ranges for the salary quoted by these three platforms also differ and are as follows for a junior .NET developer:
- Glassdoor: Between $63k-$132k/yr
- ZipRecruiter: Between $24k-$134k/yr
- Talent.com: Between $68k-$106k/yr
Senior developers earn about $129,000/yr according to Glassdoor whereas ZipRecruiter and Talent.com quote these amounts as $112k/yr and $120k/yr respectively. Glassdoor quotes the range for a senior .NET developer salary as between $90-186k whereas ZipRecruiter and Talent.com quote lower ranges of $49k to $154k/yr and $107-146k/yr respectively.
