- neilv 3y agohttps://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#work-salary https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#work-salary This chart I'm looking at might be broken, because mouseover is showing median salary of exactly $96,381 for all of Scala, Elixir, Clojure, "Lisp", and F#. (But somehow OCaml and Haskell didn't get jumbled in with those.) BTW, I'm keeping in mind that people into the fringe power-user tech might be more capable than your average bear. For example, your typical person who, somehow, got years of experience with CL, IME, is a lot more capable overall than your typical person with the same number of years using Python. So, someone taking home $150K doing a Lisp at a company that lets them might have comparable skills to someone making $500K at a FAANG. (Excluding the blip when Google acquired ITA Software, which I guess brought a bunch of CL people there.)
