Thanks, I have an estimate from one of the first replies of around $70k and that fits. <div><br></div><div>I know from my hiring of developers in Private and Government, most senior developers (just senior developer, not specialist or tech leaders), would come in at 80-120k depending on .. well, the hiring company to be honest.<div>
<br></div><div>If I was hiring I'd be a very small company and would probably not need the specialist of the tech lead and probably an intermediate would do and would probably try to get someone for less, however that $70-$90k seems to fit with most businesses.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was just wondering if we were getting some sort of a "Cobol Syndrome" where Delphi developers were being paid exorbitant rates due to there not being many, in which case I may even look at that as an option for the future :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Just looking at a million different options. I've also recently had a discussion with a crown in Australia who wanted a Senior Delphi Developer, but they were paying $50-$60k in Brisbane.</div><div>

There is no meaningful average. It will depend on:<br>
- skill level / experience of developer<br>
- location<br>
- size of company<br>
- etc<br>
<br>
If you can refine these parameters you'd get better feedback on the<br>
likely range.<br>
