Review of salaries in IT: briefly about different

Salary issues are constantly worrying both job seekers and employers. First, for example, it is important not to sell cheap and not to look boldly when answering the question on the interview “How much do you want to receive?”. The second, all the more, you need to be aware of market prices in order to recruit an adequate employee without overpaying.



Recruiters from IT-Dominants collect information on wages and call on all companies (from small web-studios to large corporations) to take part in their research. The offer is relevant for companies from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Yekaterinburg.

For example, in St. Petersburg in 2010, the developer for the iPhone receives an average of 58,000 rubles. and php-programmer 44000 rub. In 40% of the companies, there was a system of crediting employees, and in 34% there was compensation for meals for employees.



Here are the statistics of salaries in St. Petersburg in 2010:

Now about the study itself:

A participant can be any IT company or a large IT department of any other company with more than 15 people.

Methodology:

Participants are sent by email. mail questionnaire, consisting of two parts. The general questionnaire contains questions about the company, about motivation plans, about the salary policy, etc. The second part is the profile of positions (it contains 128 positions), in which you need to specify the salary and income of the company’s employees for the specified month. Time to complete the questionnaire - 3 weeks.

After filling in the questionnaire, recruiters are received, pass the verification stage (manual and automated) and undergo statistical processing. The output is an overview of salaries, in which there are no bindings to companies.

In parallel, data is collected from job portals. They are processed separately from the participants data. As a result, we get the general situation on wages from two different angles.

Benefits of participating in this review:

• Relevance of information . Companies that are not participating in the review can only get it 1 month after the official release.
• Impact on review . Offer questions that would be worth including in the questionnaire, as well as expressing wishes for the format.
• Cost For cities in which the study is conducted for the first time (Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg), the study is completely free . For St. Petersburg cost from 4 to 7 tr.
• Additional PR of your company. During the speeches of IT-Dominants at various conferences, the names of the companies that took part in the survey are mentioned.

The resulting review will have the following structure:

• General information about participating companies: type of activity, capital, age, etc.

Releases will receive only those who participated in the review. The rest will be able to see the results by attending conferences at which recruiters speak. Also on the site of IT-Dominant from time to time presentations are laid out with brief reviews.

In my opinion, this is a great initiative, and it's also free . If the leaders of all companies take part in the research, then we will have a balanced salary market.
