UK developers are the highest paid in Europe and the third highest tech earners globally, according to research by developer recruitment platform CodinGame.
The average tech wage (in USD) in the UK ($64,315) is just ahead of the Netherlands ($64,045) with Germany ($58,503) making up the top three tech payers in Europe.
Developer salaries in the UK are almost a quarter (23%) higher than the average tech wage in France ($52,052) and more than double the salary earned in the Ukraine ($28,184).
At the other end of the global tech pay scale, developers in India, which is the world’s fastest growing tech hub, are the lowest paid with an average salary of $20,750. Wages are only slightly higher in Brazil at $21,243.
