R vs TypeScript: which pays more?
The median for R is $141,800 per year (typically $106,388–$159,501), versus $161,953 for TypeScript ($135,000–$190,632). That puts TypeScript about 14% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so R and TypeScript 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.
