Self-taught developers earn more than those with a bachelor\u2019s degree for senior roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe findings confirm that companies are willing to pay top dollar for talented developers, regardless of their formal education. A traditional four-year computer science degree is no longer the only path to success. The way we think about career development has changed drastically with the acceptance of non-traditional education and self-directed learning. It means anyone can build an amazing remote career as a developer in 2022, including those without a university education,\u201d says Weiting Liu, CEO and founder of Arc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Companies are willing to pay top dollar for talented developers, regardless of their formal education.

The actual salary data mentioned in the report body is a global median. Consider it a comparative reference to aid comprehension only, as median salaries differ from country to country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report is based on salary data from 2,504 remote software developers who reported one education level in their response. To ensure accuracy, we did not consider responses from developers who reported multiple educational experiences \u2014 for example, both bachelor\u2019s and bootcamp, or both self-taught and bootcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The salary of respondents working part-time has been prorated to full-time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Percentage of entries by education level:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bachelor\u2019s degree: 55.4%. It may include developers who studied something other than computer science in college.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Master\u2019s degree: 18.4%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High school diploma: 12.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-taught: 7.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coding bootcamp: 6.3%. We also included any developers who have a high school diploma alongside a bootcamp degree in this category. We made that exception to ensure a large enough data size for bootcamp graduates. Since the level of coding taught in high school would be much lower than that taught in a bootcamp, we expect this to not impact the data in any significant way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Percentage of entries by years of exp:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>0-1 years: 15.1%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2-3 years: 23.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4-5 years: 20.8%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6-10 years: 25.4%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11-15 years: 7.3%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>16+ years: 8.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We analyzed data from only those subsets that have at least 10 entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Arc?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arc is a radically different remote job search platform for developers.
