The average annual salary of Chinese programmers is 23,790 US dollars (about 160,000 yuan), ranking 19th in the list, which shows that the income of Chinese programmers is indeed not high. Of course, according to this annual salary, the monthly salary of programmers does exceed 10,000, which is much higher than the vast majority of workers. But if you include other expenses, the programmer's life happiness index may not be as good as that of ordinary workers.

In China, the main cities where programmers gather are basically first-tier cities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, and Hangzhou, which are more suitable for the development of science and technology enterprises, and the demand for computer talents such as programmers is higher. Choosing to work in these places means that you need to bear a higher cost of living, with rent accounting for the majority. For example, if you work in Nanshan, Shenzhen, and want to live in a house that is close to the company and has comfortable conditions, the cost of renting a house may be more than two or three thousand, plus normal expenses such as eating, socializing, shopping, etc., and the monthly salary of 10,000 is estimated to be not much.
Many people only pay attention to the high salaries of programmers, but ignore the fact that they often stay up late and work overtime, and many programmers even have to work overtime until the early hours of the morning. There is also a perception in the industry that programmers are mostly bald and that if they can't climb to higher management levels before the age of 35, they are likely to face unemployment. Therefore, programmers do enjoy higher salaries, but they also bear the pressure and difficulties rarely found in other industries, and the income and payment are equivalent.
