Results Are In – State of Mobile Jobs Survey 2022!

General Results

Our largest demographic surveyed was in the United States, with 31.96% of our total responses. The United Kingdom came in second, with 6.28%. In total, 94 countries were represented in this survey, which was impressive to see!

We were also thrilled to see some trends in the community:

• Over 75% of developers felt secure in their positions for long-term employment. The recession might be coming, but many in the community feel positive that they’ll get through it this time around with secure employment.
• The United States represented the home base for most companies. 470 of respondents listed the US as the mother ship.
• Nearly a quarter did not have a degree in computer science or programming, and of those developers, 64% did not attend a bootcamp or certificate course. That’s a lot of self-taught developers out there breaking the tech barrier!
• 21% of respondents do not live in the country where they were born, with 7% of employers helping with residency or citizenship. That’s a solid amount of digital nomadship 🌍

Salary Results

It turns out that, though stock options are not offered with every developer role surveyed, the payout of these options can really add up. With the average of all respondents, stocks measure over 70% of the cash compensation offer at $67,372 USD.

While the average salary is fairly respectable overall, there are definite differences in which skills are most rewarded. The 50 respondents who selected Dart as the language they have the most experience earned on average $53,572 USD per year . Obj-C, C++, and Python all remain the highest paid languages of those surveyed, with the 147 respondents who use Obj-C earning an average of $135,761 USD and 54 Python respondents earning an average of $115,837 USD per year.

Unfortunately, the best place to work for income is still the US, where software engineers demand the highest income at an average of $142,230 USD. Income ranges for US respondents range from $20,000 to $247,200 USD average. While sample size is based on a single respondent, a full-time Java developer works in Morocco for less than $6,000 USD per year.
