If you claim it as a business/work expense (In Australia, that gives you a 47% discount), 1K is not even one day's salary for a well-paid dev and just about one day for an average paid dev.
Are Australian software devs really averaging 250k USD per year?
No, though a very small minority are in that range with equity etc from Big Tech.
Its bimodal. If you are at one of the big ones yes. Its on levels.fyi (you can narrow to Australia)
Average base compensation for SWE is ~140k (in the US w/ the highest earning SWEs), so the average is roughly half of that. Earning ~275k is comfortably in the top 20% of all SWEs; 1k a day is easily in the top 5%.
