The median for Firmware Engineer is $191,500 per year (typically $157,500–$222,000), versus $192,500 for Full-Stack ($150,000–$231,700). That puts Full-Stack about 1% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Firmware Engineer and Full-Stack 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.
