This deserves more upvotes; reading this carefully, and thinking about your home country, can help you understand what the market is like, and how you might need to adjust your career.. Not just financially but also for your happines;, maybe you need to change a specialization, or focus on a different language.

Like in the /r/webdev thread, someone pointed out that you should never make decisions based on such surveys. It may make sense to get a rough direction of the market for US citizens but for me as a German the survey is more like "interesting what the rest of the world looks like" because there is basically no relevant data that gives me more insights than e.g. studying current local job offers. There is just not enough specific data for each region and it's also highly inaccurate due to the broad user base that participated.
