OUR STORY

The Real Story Behind These Numbers

Zak Elmeghni

I started as a developer myself, so I know what good talent looks like. After placing hundreds of LATAM developers with U.S. companies, I realized most people were making salary decisions based on outdated or wrong information.

These aren't generic market surveys. Every number in our database comes from real negotiations with real companies hiring real developers. I use this exact data to help my clients make competitive offers every day.

When you're hiring developers, you need more than just salary ranges. You need to understand the market dynamics, the quality expectations, and the negotiation strategies that actually work in practice.

That's why I created this salary database - to give you the same insights I use when helping companies build their engineering teams. This isn't just data, it's the foundation for successful hiring decisions.

Our Approach to Salary Data

"Real negotiations, real placements, real insights. That's what makes our salary data different."
