沃爾瑪"碼農"薪水高於Facebook軟件工程師
According to a new survey of the base salaries of software engineers around the country, you don’t necessarily have to work at the hottest tech firms to get a high-paying job.
一份對美國各地的軟件工程師的基本工資最新調查顯示：要想獲得一份高薪工作，你並不一定非要選擇那些最熱門的科技公司。The job-search Web site Glassdoor compiled self-reported salary data of more than 33,000 software engineers over the past year. According to the results, while firms such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter all rank in the top 25 for highest average base salary, so do companies such as Juniper Networks, Integral and even Walmart.
求職網站Glassdoor整理了2013年裏超過3.3萬個來自軟件工程師自我報告的工資數據。調查結果顯示，軟件工程師平均基本工資最高的前25個公司中不僅有諸如谷歌，蘋果，微軟，亞馬遜，Facebook和Twitter在內的IT公司，瞻博網絡，Integral公司，甚至連連鎖零售業巨頭沃爾瑪也位列其中。The salary snapshot also shows that software engineers aren’t only in demand at the highest levels of the tech world. Engineers who told the site they work for Walmart reported a higher annual base salary than those who said they work for Facebook. The retailer ranked eighth, with a reported average base salary of $122,110 — just behind Oracle’s $122,905, but ahead of the average salaries reported by engineers from Facebook, eBay, Amazon or Microsoft.
同時這則工資簡況也透露出一條訊息：軟件工程師並不僅僅在最高水準的高科技世界中是“香餑餑”。據在沃爾瑪工作的軟件工程師向Glassdoor網站透露的信息表明，他們的基本年薪甚至高於在Facebook工作的軟件工程師。在零售商中排名第八的沃爾瑪公司的軟件工程師以12萬2110美元的平均基本工資——僅次於甲骨文公司的12萬2905美元——高於來自Facebook，eBay，亞馬遜和微軟的工程師的平均工資。
Juniper, which manufactures networking equipment, topped the Glassdoor list. Engineers who said they work for Juniper reported an annual base salary of $159,990, compared with the $136,427 base salary reported by those who said they work for the second-place firm on the list, LinkedIn. Yahoo, Google and Twitter rounded out the top five, while Apple came in sixth.
以生產網絡設備著稱的瞻博網絡榮登Glassdoor網站公佈的“最高平均基本工資”的榜單的榜首。據信在瞻博網絡工作的軟件工程師以159,990美元的基本年薪高於年入136,427美元的位居第二的LinkedIn的軟件工程師。雅虎，谷歌和Twitter殺進該榜單的前五名，而蘋果則排在第六位。The site also offered a picture of how salaries vary across the country. The greatest demand for software engineers is in the San Francisco Bay Area, which also boast’s the highest average base salary per area at $111,885. But employers using Glassdoor to recruit are also hunting on the East Coast. New York City has the second-highest concentration of Glassdoor employers looking for software engineers, followed by Washington, D.C. But salaries are lower out East: In Washington, for example, employers using the job search site are offering an average base salary of $83,765, below Glassdoor’s estimated national base salary average of $92,790.
該網站還爲我們提供了全美各地薪金變化的地圖。軟件工程師需求量最大的是在舊金山灣區，這片區域內單位面積最高的平均基本工資爲111,885美元。但使用Glassdoor來招聘的僱主同樣也在東海岸尋找着合適的員工人選。紐約市擁有第二多的使用Glassdoor來招聘軟件工程師的僱主，使用第三多的是華盛頓特區。但是據統計數據卻表明紐約和華盛頓特區的工資比東海岸平均水平還低：比如，在華盛頓特區，利用求職網站的僱主開出的平均基本年薪爲83,765美元，而Glassdoor網站估算的國家基本年薪平均爲92,790美元。Overall, the averages have jumped up since Glassdoor looked at the same job market last year, but they also show a shift. Last year, according to the site’s survey, Google engineers reported the highest average wage, followed by Facebook, Apple, eBay and Zynga — a firm that didn’t even crack the top 25 this year.
總體來看，相比於Glassdoor網站2012年對同樣的工作市場的調查而言，2013年的平均基本薪金有大幅增長，但變化依然存在。2012年，根據該網站的調查顯示，谷歌的軟件工程師所報的平均工資最高，緊隨其後的是Facebook，蘋果，eBay和Zynga。而2012年高居第5名的Zynga今年卻名落孫山——甚至連前25名都沒有進入。
