C# / .NET vs JavaScript: which pays more?
The median for C# / .NET is $132,885 per year (typically $114,750–$146,813), versus $147,750 for JavaScript ($96,951–$200,000). That puts JavaScript about 11% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so C# / .NET and JavaScript are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
