Highest Paying Programming Jobs (and Competitive Skills and Languages)

October 5, 2020

Are you ready to start bringing home some serious cash?

When it comes to choosing a career that leaves room for a lot of growth while allowing you to start earning the big bucks right off the bat, look no further than programming jobs.

And while pretty much all programming jobs come with the promise of a heafty and steady paycheck, certain special skills tend to earn more than others. That said, if you want to land one of these positions, you’re going to need to learn the skills you’ll need to do the job.

Thinking of changing careers but aren’t sure where to start? We’re here to help.

Here’s everything you need to know about three of the hottest and most lucrative programming jobs on the market today and what skills you’ll need to have to land them.

CRM Technical Developer

A CRM technical developer can generally net around $110,500 annually, with the possibility of earning more depending on their skill level.

CRM technical developers are responsible for designing, operating, and keeping a company’s customer relationship management system up to snuff. On top of managing the system itself, the CRM technical developer may also be responsible for documenting and explaining how their system works and what it does.

If you’re interested in a position as a CRM technical developer, you’re going to need at least a bachelor’s degree in computer science. On top of that, you’ll need a year of experience working with a CRM, and be proficient in Javascript, C#, and SQL.

ERP Technical Developer

If you want to become an ERP technical developer, you’re going to need to know a little bit more than how to create a C# open Excel file.

ERP technical developers are responsible for taking on a large scale, long term, enterprise resource planning projects, and earn plenty for their work; generally raking in upwards of $118,000 a year.

If you’re thinking about trying your hand at taking on an ERP technical developer position, you’re going to need expert-level training in business programming languages, including Java and C#.

Fluency in SQL is also a must, as well as any other specialized language you may need. When it comes to landing an ERP technical developer position, having a variety of skills is essential.

Mobil App Developers

Considering how much time the average person spends on their phone every day, it should serve as no surprise that one of, if not the highest paying programming jobs on the market is as a mobile app developer.

Mobile app developers have no trouble earning around $146,000 every year, and this field is going to keep on growing as time goes on.

The necessary skills for mobile app developers is a bit of a mixed bag. Not only will they need to know major mobile programming languages like Objective C and Java, but they also need experience with the visual side of app design. Experience with UI and graphic design are also essential to becoming a mobile app developer.

How to Land the Highest Paying Programming Jobs

Keep in mind that if you’re new to the field, you probably won’t be able to land one of the highest-paid programming jobs right out of the gate. But, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t still shoot for them.

If you take smaller jobs that will help keep your skills sharp and give you the experience you need, it will only be a few short years before you’re able to upgrade to one of the top positions in your field.
