A recent survey published by IAB SA has revealed how much developers and programmers can expect to earn in South Africa, and the results are surprising.
The survey seems to indicate that digital agencies seemingly underpay computer programmers when compared to the information and communication technologies market.
“A key finding is that the average gross monthly salary for programming roles within the agency environment is lower than the ICT sector.”
“On average, programming roles with agencies are paid up to 26% lower compared to those within the ICT sector.”
There is however a clear reason for this discrepancy – “as development isn’t the primary core capability of digital agencies, compared to ICT and large-scale enterprise development firms, the salaries of developers are less.”
“This is balanced by digital agencies providing exposure for developers to a diverse range of projects that can test their craft and creativity as coders.”
