The United States is still the most expensive location for Azure talent.
Glassdoor’s May 2025 data shows a median base pay of about $123 k for an Azure developer, with total compensation near $156 k. National averages sit around $131 k for cloud engineers and $155 k for Azure architects, while senior Azure-developer base pay is roughly $109 k (total ≈ $151 k). Indeed lists most Azure vacancies in Silicon Valley, then in Seattle and in New York City.
In Canada the average AI-engineer package is about CA $110 k (≈ US $81 k) according to Talent.com’s 2025 figures.
Across regions, Azure compensation follows a gradient — U.S. -> Switzerland/Germany -> Australia & Singapore - > UK/Canada -> Central-Eastern Europe - > Latin America/Vietnam.
