Platform engineers and DevOps engineers’ salaries
In the US, Platform Engineers make 42.5% more than DevOps Engineers:moneybag:
This considerable difference can be attributed to the higher demand for advanced platform engineering skills that drive scalable and efficient infrastructure, reflecting the US market’s emphasis on innovation and cutting-edge technology development.
Whereas in Europe, the difference is only 18.64% more for platform engineering!
This narrower gap may result from a more integrated approach to infrastructure and operations management within European companies, where the delineation between Platform engineering and DevOps is less pronounced.
European firms might prioritize cross-functional skills and collaborative practices, leading to a more equitable salary distribution.
