Software engineers earning higher salaries: study

Managers have a median base pay of up to $13,750.

Amidst technology downturn, a Nodeflair study showed that software engineers are earning increasingly higher pay, with junior engineers receiving a median base salary of $5,000.

The mid-level engineers’ wages are even higher, up to $7,000 and $8,000 respectively. For managers, the median base salary reaches $13,750.

There is also a disparity between top earners and those at the bottom of the ladder, with the former earning up to three times more than the latter.

Junior engineers at the 90th percentile can now expect to earn $8,500 (up from S$7,500), whilst mid-level and senior engineers can earn up to S$11,000 and S$12,000, respectively. Principal software engineers can have a base salary of $19,000 (up from $17,000).

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
