Ask: how much do you make in Australia

The Google and Amazon threads show salaries that would simply be amazing in Sydney even if working for a hedge fund!

So I wonder what people are earning down under?

I am a senior .net dev 13 yrs exp earning 140k AUD plus super and no bonuses or shares.



I was the Web Developer for a well known environmental charity for 2 years. ~10 years experience. Was earning 63k AUD plus super (no bonuses).

As I discovered later, the average salary for the same role in the for-profit sector is around 80k AUD plus super in Tasmania.


My previous company was paying senior C++ devs in Brisbane about AUD140k plus super, plus (worthless) options in 2013.

I'm contracting now, so nothing more current.


Java + HPUX / AIX with Oracle / SAP => $130k
