The Difference Between C# to F# Is a Scale of $20K
Stack Overflow's survey of site users provides some interesting insights on how Microsoft developers are doing compared to the rest of the world's developers.
Here's an interesting little nugget from a Stack Overflow survey: A chart labeled "Top Paying Tech per Occupation" shows salaries for C# developers averages $95K for full stack devs (cloud, React, and Redis devs make more), and $20K less for front end devs, and $10K less when filtered by mobile and mathematics-based occupations. C# devs aren't doing badly.
But check out the chart above that one, labeled "Top Paying Tech," and you'll see that F# jobs pay well. Those who develop with it in the U.S. claim to be making $115K on average. It makes me wonder who uses F# and where are those jobs paying that much? As usual, it's probably the specialization that differentiates the salaries between the two sharpened languages, but that's just a guess.
It's just one survey, remember, and the sampling of this survey comes directly from Stack Overflows own data of users registered to their site who responded; of its 4.7 million users, 50K of them actually filled out the survey. You can view the full results starting here.
(On a side note, we'll have our own salary survey for Visual Studio and .NET devs coming soon. Stay tuned!)
