C# / .NET vs JavaScript: which pays more?
The median for C# / .NET is $139,300 per year (typically $125,000–$152,400), versus $175,000 for JavaScript ($101,938–$200,000). That puts JavaScript about 26% 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.
