The median salary expectations of developers with 5 to 9 years of experience are $4,000, and women are $3,700. If they have 10 or more years of experience, the gap narrows, with the average salary for men being $5,000 and for women being $4,900.

Among hired candidates, in most categories, men's salaries are $200-500 higher than women's.
Among the categories where there was a significant difference in salary in 2024 were middle and senior QA: men expected an average of $1,700 at the middle level and $3,000 at the senior level, women - $1,500 and $2,400, respectively.
The difference for senior developers at $4,000 versus $3,500 also became noticeable.
