How much should you earn?

These figures must be for software development surely.

I.S. student broke.

 

[adamr]

those figures look lil for guys in the 46-50 and Senior management roles

I was actually surprised by how low the averages are. In my experience IT people get paid a bit more. Thought the average would be closer to say R22000 or R23000.

I wish ... Dear Mr Bank Manager, please adjust my monthly balance to the industry guideline. Regards, C

Such a misleading article.

I'm sure figures are down from last year? I remember reading something similar last year and thinking how much money other IT people were earning. Now after this article I'm starting to think there is not much money any more.

Are we talking CTC here?

Cuz even if you earn R23k pm you're only going to get out around 16 after all deductions...

 

[Kettiekop]

Can anyone confirm these numbers, cause if so I need to chat to my bosses

 

[niftyshorts]

Depends what you do I guess...The figures are right to me based on what i earn!

 

[shadowfox]

Haha ... I earn less than an average unskilled worker.

Can somebody find out which companies those people work for, I'd love to go work there - since I'm in a skilled position ... (well, I know I'm being ripped off)

 

[Deans]

is it ever enough?

 

[Le^stat]

I'm getting screwed....

 

[saffakanera]

lol, same here, i earn HALF of the unskilled bracket! And have some nice certs! Those figures are probably for the software dev industry, def not the networking one!

 

[dojob]

I think it depends also which city you work. Sure Joburg pays the highest, followed by CT and Durbs.

 

[sonxEr77]

Are these figures before or after deduction cause if after deduction then am way underpaid ...

In the Information Systems, Electronics and Telecoms Technologies market under 25’s earn an average of R 11 300 per month while the 46 to 50 year olds were the highest earners at an average of R 29 230 per month.

I think this is the only sector where the survey got it like 80% right...I`m sure top earners with degrees get a lot more...
