Know the market rate for a job before recruiters ask what the rate is for you.
Salary surveys help you:
- Understand your current market value, locally or abroad
- Learn about options for relocation, where your market value is that much higher
- Learn about other career options where you could earn enough, or even more
And that’s why I compile these lists for you.
How to use this list
As much as possible, I try to only list sites that are credible and have compiled their own numbers from their own sources. For best results, compare multiple surveys to reinforce your impressions, especially since you might end up making decisions with these numbers in mind.

If you don’t need this list for now, bookmark it for later.
