The median for C++ is $195,500 per year (typically $165,000–$225,000), versus $185,500 for Robotics ($146,500–$222,000). That puts C++ about 5% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so C++ and Robotics 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.
