C# / .NET vs Python: which pays more?
The median for C# / .NET is $145,000 per year (typically $123,690–$174,000), versus $171,700 for Python ($121,228–$200,000). That puts Python about 18% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so C# / .NET and Python 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.
