The average software engineer at Uber was paid $147,603 a year in 2020. Senior engineers with five or more years of experience might make three times that. On the flip side, there are Uber’s drivers. As we’ve seen, gig workers are often paid relatively little. Your typical driver will make $19.73 per hour before expenses, or $30,390 a year if they drive 40 hours a week.
As a software developer, are you ok for your salary to be augmented by transfer from the most precarious of your colleagues?
