City programmer salary competition

Crawled a recruitment website and obtained 18,275 programmer salary entries in the past week. Among them, 17,628 have wages (4,892 in Beijing, 5,073 in Shanghai, 3,386 in Guangzhou, and 4,277 in Shenzhen). This article makes statistics based on the distribution of wages, the relationship between wages and education, region, work experience and the nature, scale, and industry of the company. Let’s take a look at it together.

Programmers here include ordinary programmers, architects, algorithm engineers, computer graphics, artists, etc.

Salary Distribution

The average salary of programmers in first-tier cities in mainland China is 11,770 yuan, and the median salary is 10,000 yuan, with 95% of them earning between 3,000 and 25,000.

education

The level of education has a significant impact on wages. Look at the picture below.

After the Oneway Anova Test, it is proved that from junior college to doctorate, every time the academic qualifications increase, the salary will increase significantly. Of course, there are only 16 PhD positions in the data, and the sample is too small to support the conclusion.

The average salaries for college, bachelor, master, and doctoral students are 9788, 14114, 17882, and 26656 respectively. The medians are 9000, 12500, 17500 and 25000 respectively.

Conclusion, reading is still very important!

Work Experience

Data shows that wages will increase with work experience. However, I feel that those who are recruiting for positions with ten years of work experience are basically architects and other positions. If your work experience is one year of work experience repeated ten times, you should not be able to get such a high salary. This needs to be analyzed carefully later.

Cities

The geographical distribution of wages is very uneven. From high to low, they are Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Their average salaries are 13854, 12213, 10655 and 9503 yuan respectively. The medians are 12500, 12000, 9000, and 8500 respectively. From the median point of view, Beijing and Shanghai are relatively close, and Shenzhen and Guangzhou are relatively close.

Statistics (Oneway Anova) show that the salary difference between any two cities is significant.

Company

What kind of company you choose also determines your salary income.

The nature of the company has a limited impact on wages.

The size of the company also has a limited impact on wages. However, it is strange that companies with 500-999 employees have the lowest wages. Can anyone tell me why?

# Working as a programmer in the financial industry has the highest salary.

This is my first time doing such a survey. If I don’t do it well, please give me some advice.
