Salary Insights for Software Engineers and Developers - Analysis Challenge

[Sodda13]

Hey,

I stumbled upon this intriguing article about salary of software engineer. It's chock-full of valuable information and data on salaries in the tech industry, which got me thinking – why not analyze some of this data ourselves?

Let's create a mini-coding challenge around it. Below is a Python code snippet that scrapes the average software engineer salary data from the article and calculates the median. Your task is to complete the code by finding the median salary. Feel free to use any Python libraries or techniques you prefer.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import statistics

# URL of the article
url = " "

# Send an HTTP GET request to the URL
response = requests.get(url)

# Parse the HTML content of the page
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')

# Find the salary data - modify the CSS selector as needed
salary_data = soup.select(".your-css-selector-here")

# Extract salary values from the data (you may need to preprocess the data)
salaries = []

for item in salary_data:
    salary = item.text  # You might need to extract and convert the salary value
    salaries.append(salary)

# Calculate the median salary
median_salary = statistics.median(salaries)

# Print the result
print(f"The median software engineer salary is: {median_salary}")

Once you've found the median salary, post your solution here. It would be interesting to see how our calculations compare to the insights in the article.
