In announcing this statistic Stack Overflow says, "The survey is not perfect, although the influence is less due to the large number of samples, there are users who can not use English or who do not want to be investigated in English Because of that, biasing (bias) exists in the contents, "and announces the numerical value.

So, first of all, distribution of users using Stack Overflow. This statistic is sometimes taken with the English version of Stack Overflow, and it seems that there are still the largest users in the United States. Then it continues with European countries, India, Australia and others, and it is found that the balance is distributed with almost the same balance including Japan.

Looking at the years of experience by gender, the number of people with "experience 2 to 5 years" is the most common in both men and women, but it is visible that men account for a large number of people with many years of experience.

In the United States, the top of "Most Payable Development Language / Environment" is Spark.

Statistics are also given about the chance to get a job. It seems that the introduction of acquaintance in America tells the most things.


This is the same situation in Germany. Compared to the United States, there are also many people who go on to sell themselves directly to companies.


When it comes to India, introduction of acquaintances is also effective, but furthermore it seems that the influence of "In-House Recruiter (internal recruiter)", that is, the personnel affairs inside the company is more significant.


What we emphasize at work is that "Salary" is the top in the world level, the second place is "work life balance", and the third place is "internal culture".


America is almost the same situation.


However, Germany has resulted in more people who emphasize work-life balance than salary.


It is like this when graphing the proportion of people who emphasize salary (vertical axis) and the actual salary level (horizontal axis). As a whole trend, we see a very interesting tendency that salary increases as the rate of emphasis on salary decreases.


When you mention the hardest things at work, everyone experienced once as "unrealistic expectation", 1st place as "poor documentation", 2nd as "poor documentation" and 3rd as "unclear request" It is convinced that items are lined up and that the same thing happens anywhere in the world.


Looking at the amount of income for each type of job, the top is the technical superintendent's position, such as CTI and CIO, and it is about 150,000 dollars (about 17 million yen). Below that is followed by engineering managers, enterprise level service developers, mobile developers and so on.


Graphing the proportion of those who like work (vertical axis) and the amount of salary (horizontal axis) gave an easy-to-understand result that they liked work as salary rises.


These statistics show the actual condition of the user in the Stack Overflow, but it seems to be said that this data can be said to be valuable data which can be touched quite interesting reality.
