C# / .NET vs Scala: which pays more?
The median for C# / .NET is $142,500 per year (typically $128,020–$157,000), versus $150,000 for Scala ($150,000–$162,812). That puts Scala about 5% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so C# / .NET and Scala 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.
