Årlig Inkomst

While we often hear tales of six-figure salaries out of Silicon Valley, the reality is that most front-end developers throughout the world earn far less, as becomes apparent when directly comparing the U.S. and the rest of the world.

Higher Education Degree

While having a degree will ensure you earn more, turns out it doesn't necessarily have to be related to programming – a good sign for the many among us who discovered a passion for web development further along in life.

Unlike past surveys, we didn't observe a significant income difference between genders this time. That being said, this lone datapoint does not mean we should disregard the challenges faced by women in our industry.

Non-white respondents were more likely to be younger and have less experience – which hopefully points to a ongoing diversification of the industry.

Source

A majority of respondents knew about the survey from previous years, but many also found it through a banner on the 2024 State of CSS survey results. And for the first time, Mastodon overtook X as a traffic source, possibly due to the later penalizing tweets containing outbounds links.
