I don't reside in the US, probably this isn't going to be true to my salary scale, unfortunately.

While I like Jerad C’s answer better, I did a little poking around to see who the 4 under 18 “Senior Software Developers” are.

As I suspected, they are like me: they are all older people who are sensitive about their ages. We have no data on actual senior developers under the age of 18 out of ~6000 survey responses in the US.

PayScale does not use age in finding related salaries, and we do not require people to answer this (or any other) question, to get a report.

At the 1 in 1000 level, people don’t realize this, so give a bogus answer instead of no answer, as you see here. Our salary reporting mechanisms take this into account, so these non and bogus answers do not significantly affect the results.

By the way, we really do have over 2,000,000 completed surveys. Because our site is only in English currently, these are predominately from English speaking countries. In the US, the data represents ~1% of all employees, in the Canada and Australia about 1/2%, in the UK about 1/4%, and it falls off from there.

Tyler – Think about that information for a second

1) There are 4 respondants making up that portion of the graph (18 and under)

2) If you are a salaried developer at 18, that is for a reason. You are good, or you created something and it got bought from you (winamp comes to mind)

I see nothing wrong with that information.

Kris, I agress with you whole heartedly; see my comment above. These companies need a real plan to generate revenue. Revenue that grows at a healthy pace while staying above expenses is the key to a healthy company. I hope Mike has read that post, and that we will see more information on the revenue models of these companies.

There will be a million of these initiatives in the hopes that one will catch fire enough to get a critical mass of data (like Flickr, Delicious) to be worth real money. eOpinions, LinkedIn and the rest are all fighting it out to aggregate enough stuff to reach the tipping point. Sounds like these guys are still far away from that. Unfortunately it’s not a great tactic to claim you have a huge DB in order to get attention when you don’t. People feel cheated in the end.

Interesting data indeed. Most of it looks legit, but I’m having trouble believing that the median salary of people under the age of 18 is $105,500.

“Unfortunately, your report could not be processed at this time. We have searched through our extensive database, but are unable to find enough employees who are like you to provide you with an accurate personal compensation report. Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. ”
