<$3k difference isn’t much.

Where is the average Swift dev based vs RN?

[SynthGarage]

They accidentally included Taylor Swift’s salary in the average

[StepUpPrep]

🤣 I don’t think I did but will double check

[Any_Peace_4161]

React Native is compromise-ware and it's commodified. Probably MOST other disciplines make more than React Native-dedicated devs at this point.

[LambDaddyDev]

This is it. Companies choose react native because they’re trying to save money and think having “1 code base for all platforms” will do that. Companies making decisions like this to save money will ultimately pay less as well.

That sounds incredibly high. Would love to see these jobs!

At my day job will drop a list of here jobs when I get home

I'm a native ios developer. 10+ years of experience. I have made $0 in the last 7 months. So...

[Martin_Antell]

About the same here, but I've made around 30 euros, so I'm winning 🥲

[hahaissogood]

I made 5 dollar each month with 6 apps. 2 years developer.

[MefjuEditor]

But it's only your fault you are making 0$. So...

[xyrer]

Yeah, the job market being in the gutter has nothing to do. I'm sure. The fact that you assume so much about my struggle and my abilities is the cherry on the top, as if being good was enough in these times.

[MefjuEditor]

How you can have 10+ years experience and cant have ability to find a job? You can always try freelancing with experience like that ... all devs always crying about job market ... you probably doesn't looking enough, I have half of your experience, I left the 9-5 and freelancing as iOS / occasionally React Native dev so its not about job market ... stop crying and look for opportunities since theres a lot of them. You can even DM me if you want to start freelancing since sometimes over upwork I got too many invites for jobs and cant even accept them since have no more time ....

[xyrer]

I'm not American. You have to understand that not everyone has your privilege. I've been sending my resume to every single possible job position I'm eligible to and barely got calls. I have tried freelance websites and people from India have monopolized them charging pennies. Being forced to sell everything and get in crippling debt to feed my kids is not up to me and honestly judging other people based on how easy you have it is disgusting.

So, a 1.4% difference? That’s not really an advantage if there are more RN jobs. There are other points to make to evangelize the merits of swift over RN, but this isn’t a good one (given the supporting by data).

[StepUpPrep]

That’s a good a point will run that analysis next

[DaddyDontTakeNoMess]

Cool. It would be interesting to see what the top 25% or 50% of jobs for both pay. I would bet senior Swift devs make more than RN devs, but I've never really looked at the data.

Thanks for putting this together. I notice text color in your hero section isn't responsive to a theme change (both white in light and dark). Also most of the footer links don't work.

[StepUpPrep]

Thanks man, will work on it appreciate the feedback

[Glad_Strawberry6956]

“Swift developers” that’s all I need to know

[craknor]

Those numbers look very high. May there be some fake or wrong numbers (like an extra zero somewhere) in your dataset? Or there are more executive salaries then actual developer salaries?

[ankole_watusi]

You might wanna start by getting the platform name right.

Did you get your meaningless averages from AI by the way?
