According to a new report, there are only four other North American cities with higher average software engineer salaries than Denver. That’s according to San Francisco-based job search company Hired, which published its 2017 “Global State of Tech Salaries” report, indicating that the average annual salary for a Denver software engineer is $112,000, down 2.63% from a year earlier.
But when you factor in the adjusted cost for living compared with the Bay Area, Denver salaries adjust to $181,000, behind only Austin ($198,000) of the 10 North American cities that were ranked!
