It would be interesting to see the breakdown on average salary vs experience. As someone just starting my career it would be interesting to see how it compares to having 5 or 10 years experience.

edit: the UK report has that breakdown, not sure why it was omitted from the US report.

Hi my name is Jessica and I am the data scientist at Hired who pulled the numbers for this report.

Hired.com does provide this information. You can use our salary calculator to get more detailed information about what salary you should expect based on your experience, skills, and location: https://hired.com/salary

I don't think hired.com really takes candidates who are just starting their careers, so their data will be almost all mid-career folks.

They are also skewed as to the specialties they can effectively place. Their clients seem to over-represent web and mobile companies and under-represent the rest of the industry.
