Understanding the Bubble Developer Pay Landscape

A Global Salary Survey in No Code Software Development

In the evolving field of no code software development, understanding compensation trends can provide valuable insights for both developers and employers alike. This global salary survey not only offers a broad view of the landscape, but also uncovers interesting patterns and disparities that could shape your next pay negotiation.

The below analysis brings forth key aspects like the average and median earnings categorized by geographical locations, the impact of experience on earnings, and the distribution and range of earnings across the board. We also delve into the significant disparities within the same countries and trends that reveal the evolution of earnings over time.

The insights we've derived offer a nuanced understanding of the current state of the industry. However, it's important to interpret this data, especially for different regions throughout the world, in the context of various influencing factors. Earnings that may seem low in high-cost countries might, in countries of low cost of living, represent a good standard of living. Similarly, the variation in pay rates within the same countries could be influenced by elements like specialization, negotiation skills, and variability in job roles and responsibilities.

In the subsequent sections, we will explore these points in detail, offering a comprehensive overview of the compensation landscape in the no code software development industry. Our goal is to equip you with the necessary information to make informed decisions, whether you are a developer planning your career trajectory or an employer looking to set competitive compensation structures.

Analysis 

Having analyzed salary data from over 80 no code developers globally, we're offering a lens into the economic landscape of this burgeoning field. The data provides an illuminating view into the broad spectrum of geographical locations, earnings, and experience levels within the industry.

Key Takeaways

1. Experience’s Impact on Earnings - the value of experience is evident in our analysis. The data reveals a positive correlation between experience (measured in months in the field) and hourly earnings. A correlation was found for each additional month of experience means an increase of $1.5 in hourly rates, up to around 50 months. 
   
   Thus, for the first few years of a no code developers career, every 6 months they would raise their rate $10/hr to keep in line with their increased skills.
   
   
2. Average Earnings by Country - our survey spans countries of different development levels, highlighting a notable contrast in average earnings. Developers in developed, 'First World' countries earn approximately $72 per hour. In contrast, for the rest of the world, earnings average around $18 per hour.
   
   
3. Outliers- the data identifies outliers at both ends of the earnings spectrum - those who earn significantly more or less than their peers. These instances underscore the range of compensation that exists within the field. Interestingly, significant disparities also exist even within the same country, showing that factors beyond geographical location can impact compensation substantially.
   
   
4. Distribution of Earnings - the earnings distribution reflects a right-skew, with a greater number of developers on the lower income side, though a significant minority earn higher rates. It's observed that about 80% of developers are earning between $10 to $50 per hour.
   
   
5. Identify Trends - our data also surfaces several key trends: earnings rise with increasing experience up to a point, maxing out around the 60 month mark of experience in the field.

Conclusion

We believe these insights will assist both developers and clients in understanding the current compensation landscape in the no code development industry. The value of experience, the role of geographical location, and the scope for negotiation all play a part in shaping earnings. In this rapidly evolving industry, the data suggests that consistent delivery of quality work offers a path towards differentiation and higher compensation. As we continue to navigate the intricacies of a global economy, we're optimistic that this data can foster more informed decisions in compensation agreements.
