Enterprise tech is going through big changes with the rise of the cloud, and the attendant interest in cutting edge technologies like AI and data analytics. So it’s not surprising that the biggest names of corporate IT are paying big bucks for top talent in this market. Business Insider analyzed the US Office of Foreign Labor Certification’s 2019 disclosure data for permanent and temporary foreign workers to find out what eight major players in enterprise tech — Oracle, IBM, SAP, Cisco, Dell, VMware, ServiceNow and Workday — pay tech talent in key roles including engineers, developers and data scientists. Companies are required to disclose information, such as salary ranges, when they hire foreign workers under the H1-B visa program, giving insight into what these major companies are willing to shell out for talent.

Salarii pentru toti

Facand o retrospectiva a cautarilor pe blog pe anul trecut am fost surprins ca Zeitgeist-ul pentru blogul Programat in Romania contine cuvinte de tipul „salarii IT”, „salarii compania x”, cum se vede si in captura de mai jos. Cu alte cuvinte o mare parte din vizitatorii blogului ajung aici in urma cautarilor dupa salarii (in IT), asta in conditiile in care doar in vreo doua posturi am abordat tema asta.

Recunosc, e un subiect important si e de preferat sa afli niste informatii in zona salariilor inainte de a-ti pierde timp pretios in tot felul de interviuri tehnice si de HR, care abordeaza orice, dar numai acest subiect nu.

Intotdeauna am apreciat pietele occidentale (SUA, UK) pentru faptul ca nu fac un secret din salairul corespunzator unei pozitii pentru care angajeaza. Acesta e furnizat ca range destul de strans, reprezentand salariul brut pe un an (ex. (x)xx.xxx GBP/EUR/USD) si da o imagine destul de exacta si asupra nivelului si responsabilitatilor jobului, dincolo de titlul in sine.

La noi salariul e considerat confidential si e un mare tabu, ramas asa inca de la sfarsitul anilor ’90, cand aproape toate salariile erau la negru, sau la un gri foarte inchis.

O alta remarca pe care as face-o e ca la noi majoritatea companiilor nu incearca sa angajeze neaparat cel mai bun candidat pentru o pozitie, ci candidatul care intruneste minimul de cerinte obligatorii si care solicita salariul cel mai mic.

Mai jos o descriere a algoritmului de angajare de tipul „minimal financial expectiations” practicat de majoritatea companiilor:

open position

publish the announcement

filter CVs

run the interviews

select the candidates who passed the interviews

sort the candidates ascending based on the financial expectations

for each candidate

__make the offer

__if offer accepted

____hire candidate

____break

Mult succes tuturor la interviuri si/sau la (re)negocierile de salariu.

Ce salariu mai are Andreea Esca?

Nu intentionam sa abordez subiectul salariilor din software atat de devreme, dar iata ca, la sugestia cititorilor fideli (da, avem si asa ceva) am fost anuntat (pe alte canale decat blogul) de existenta urmatorului articol din ZF despre salariile din software din vest. Din vestul tarii deocamdata.

Verificat apoi rapid din doua surse credibile care activeaza in domeniu tocmai in partea de tara in cauza (merci baieti 🙂 )  am concluzionat ca e putin umflat (cum le sta bine atat studiilor de gen de pe la noi dar si ziaristilor- dornici mereu de senzational), dar ca merita dat pe post, ceea ce am si facut mai jos.

De remarcat si „extraoptiunile”: al 13-lea salariu (30%), ziua de lucru de acasa (24%), vinerea scurta (daca nu e planificata livrare, desigur – prietenii stiu de ce 😉 )

Vazand tabelul imi vin in minte cateva intrebari:

1. Dezvoltatorul (senior), unde e dezvoltatorul? Poate modelul din vest(ul tarii) a depasit faza livrare cu dezvoltatori?!?

2. Business Analyst-ul?

3. Ce inginerii au facut managerii financiari?

4. Da’ cu generalistul in resurse umane ce-au avut?

Un software architect din vestul ţării poate câştiga până la 2.000 de euro net pe lună

Un angajat care ocupă funcţia de software architect, cu o experienţă de cel puţin cinci ani în dezvoltare software şi care are foarte bune competenţe de programare are un salariu mediu de peste 2.600 de euro brut dacă lucrează într-o companie din vestul ţării, în timp ce un proaspăt absolvent de facultate, care nu are deloc experienţă, se angajează pe un salariu de aproape 700 de euro brut, potrivit studiului salarial şi de beneficii AIMS Salary Map IT.

Având în vedere că softiştii sunt scutiţi de unele impozite, salariile nete ale acestora sunt, de regulă, cu 20% mai mici decât cele brute (nu cu 30%, cum e în cazul celorlalţi angajaţi).

Cercetarea, care a fost realizată în perioada februarie – martie 2012, a fost efectuată pe un eşantion de 32 de companii cu activităţi în domeniul software din Timişoara, Cluj, Sibiu şi Braşov, care au împreună aproximativ 4.500 de angajaţi.

„În pofida incertitudinilor economice, anul 2012 este un an de normalitate pentru dezvoltatorii software. Aproximativ 93% din companiile participante la studiu au declarat că intenţionează să crească salariile angajaţilor cu un procent mediu de 7,5%”, a spus Şerban Mrejeru, senior consultant în cadrul firmei AIMS Executive & Consulting România.

Peste o treime din companiile participante la studiu au spus că oferă anga­jaţilor 13 salarii pe an.

De asemenea, în pachetul de beneficii oferit angajaţilor din departamentele de cercetare şi dezvoltare ale companiilor din vestul ţării se află consultaţiile medicale gratuite la o clinică privată (în cazul a peste 78% din participanţii la studiu), un număr de zile de concediu mai mare decât minimul legal obligatoriu (beneficiu oferit în cazul a două treimi din participanţii la studiu), precum şi petrecerile organizate de companie (beneficiu oferit în toate companiile).

„Mai mult, 84% dintre angajatori permit angajaţilor să aibă un program de lucru flexibil, fiecare angajat având posibilitatea să îşi aleagă ora de venire sau cea de plecare de la birou, cu condiţia să «bifeze» numărul de ore de muncă standard prevăzute în contract”, mai spune Mrejeru.

Totodată, 38% dintre companiile participante la studiu permit angajaţilor să lucreze ocazional de acasă, în timp ce 28% dintre aceştia oferă ca şi stimulent ziua de vineri mai scurtă la birou, pentru a le permite angajaţilor să se bucure cât mai mult de weekend.

„Aceste politici, adaptate practicilor moderne în domeniu, îşi propun să creas­că gradul de motivaţie şi de autonomie a angajaţilor prin edificarea unui mediu de lucru pozitiv şi prin reducerea controlului mai strict practicat în trecut”, a mai explicat Mrejeru.

Cu un salariu lunar de peste 2.600 de euro brut, un software architect este plătit mai bine cu 30% faţă de un angajat aflat pe poziţia de team leader, care coordonează o echipă cuprinsă între 4 şi 15 specialişti şi care are un salariu mediu de 1.860 de euro brut.

La studiu au participat companii din zona de vest a ţării, cu activităţi în domenii precum auto, telecomunicaţii, software de tip ERP sau servicii online. AIMS Executive Search & Consulting România va extinde cercetarea, începând cu anul viitor, la nivel naţional, targetând companii de cercetare & dezvoltare din Bucu­reşti, Iaşi, Craiova sau alte centre tradiţionale din acest sector din România.
