The Mifos Initiative

Research the hourly rates of senior mobile app developers by region/country

Objective

As part of the documentation of the social impact of our initiative, we want to assign a dollar value to the contributions we receive from our volunteers. These volunteers come from a range of fields, experience levels, and locations. For this task, we're gathering data on senior mobile app developers (5+ years experience)

We will also use this research to understand the market rates for consultants by region. This is valuable data for when we are offering consulting services to generate revenue to help with long-term sustainability of the Mifos Initiative.

So we need to gather data points on senior mobile app developers by country/region by level of experience, framework, etc.
