Average Drupal Developers salary
Hello Canadian Drupal developers :),
I’m a senior Drupal developer, I have recently moved to Canada from Egypt. So, I’m not sure what salary should I be expecting or what is the average hourly rate to match my experience.
I’ve been doing Drupal development for almost 7 years and have no shortage of working with north american or european organizations, from UN to big Drupal shops.
