Collaboration

88% OF THE RESPONDENTS SAID THEY COLLABORATE WITH PROGRAMMERS. According to our results, who you collaborate with doesn’t have much impact on your salary: when we look at the median salaries broken down by collaborator, we find that they are between $80K to $94K, with the exception of “None of the Above.”

Who you collaborate with doesn’t impact your salary, but not collaborating certainly hinders it. The 3% of respondents who worked solo and didn’t collaborate with people in any of the roles we listed in our survey (designers, programmers, data scientists/ analysts, product managers, and salespeople) earned a median salary of only $56K.
