TypeScript Developer Salaries in 2024: Record Growth of 20%

TypeScript Developer Market: Salaries Break Records

According to the latest data from the PythonLib analytical center, the job market for TypeScript programmers is experiencing a real boom. The average salary of specialists has increased by 20% over the past 12 months — from 180,000 to 216,000 rubles per month (in the regions) and from 250,000 to 300,000 rubles in Moscow and St. Petersburg. This is one of the highest growth rates among all programming languages in 2024.

Why Has TypeScript Surged Ahead?

Analysts attribute such explosive growth to several factors:

• Massive migration of projects to TypeScript — more than 60% of new frontend projects in Russia and the CIS are now written in TypeScript rather than JavaScript. Companies are willing to pay a premium for typing, which reduces the number of bugs.
• Shortage of senior specialists — there is an acute shortage of experienced developers who have an advanced command of TypeScript (generics, conditional types, mapped types). Companies are willing to pay 30-40% more for such a specialist than for a regular JavaScript developer.
• Full-stack trend — TypeScript is increasingly used not only on the frontend (React, Angular) but also on the backend (NestJS, Deno, Bun). A full-stack TypeScript developer can expect a salary of up to 350,000-400,000 rubles.

Regional Differences and Forecasts

While in Moscow and St. Petersburg the salaries of TypeScript developers are already approaching the 300,000 ruble mark, in million-plus cities (Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk) the average income is 180,000-220,000 rubles. At the same time, remote work levels the difference — many companies are willing to pay "Moscow" rates to specialists from the regions.

Experts predict that by the end of 2025, the salaries of TypeScript programmers will grow by another 15-20%. The reason is the active adoption of TypeScript in the corporate sector (banks, retail, logistics), where code stability is critical.

What Should a Developer Do to Earn More?

• Dive deeper into typing — study advanced topics: conditional types, infer, template literal types. This will increase your grade and income.
• Master backend development in TypeScript — NestJS, Prisma, TypeORM. Full-stack specialists earn 25-30% more.
• Develop soft skills — the ability to conduct code reviews, architectural discussions, and mentor juniors adds 15-20% to your salary.
