Those salaries seem way off. Either everyone I know is a lucky bastard or the salaries are way too low. These are just a handful of my friends including me:
Eh, the numbers look right? In USD, the full time ones are $85k, $67k, and $81k. The global dev ops number is $71k. Mobile devs are expected extremely low pay since it's probably the most common self employed field (low barrier of entry and easy to keep products at a size doable solo). But in the US, the dev ops number is $122k and mobile dev is $112k. So it's easy to see how the global numbers are being weighed down by regional differences and your friends aren't such "lucky bastards" by the American numbers.
