Why a Magento Developer Is Well Paid

First of all, let’s have a brief introduction to Magento. This is simply an eCommerce platform that is built on an open source technology. It offers a very flexible shopping cart system for online merchants, as well as good gripz when it comes to designing the appearance and feel. Importantly, it allows great control over its content and its functionality.

But... It still has quite a little backlash

Magento is complex, this is not the regular PHP script that was made by some amateur, but was done and established by a company with outstanding programmers. It is based on Zend Framework, which is not the easiest of sorts. In the simplest terms possible, there are only a handful of developers equipped in handling this, thus making a Magento Developer in demand and paid well.

Magento is Substantial

This platform is not light when it comes to its all in all data, with a whopping capability of handling more than 10,000 files! Usually, there are only very few small time businesses engaged in using this platform, and most medium to huge companies are the common users of this platform to run their online store. This makes sure that Magento Developers will always have big clients to give them the pay in the creation and maintenance of their eCommerce website.

So... How Well Paid are they?

Well, we consider them to be generously paid among other web developers, but in general, the global pay scale for professional web developers is currently around US$60,000, well less or higher due to experience and who are the people hiring them. But, when it comes to handling Magento, the pay is around US$82,000 every year, that is huge money, but the volume of work is also inclined to the pay. Senior Magento Developers that are already highly skilled and experienced are even hired to be a project directors or managers and are paid more than US$107,000 a year. This is proof enough that great responsibility comes with great pay.
