A recent survey <\/a><\/strong>published by IAB SA has revealed how much developers and programmers can expect to earn in South Africa, and the results are surprising.<\/p>\n

The survey seems to indicate that digital agencies seemingly underpay computer programmers when compared to the information and communication technologies market.<\/p>\n

“A key finding is that the average gross monthly salary for programming roles within the agency environment is lower than the ICT sector.”<\/p>\n

\u201cOn average, programming roles with agencies are paid up to 26% lower<\/strong> compared to those within the ICT sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is balanced by digital agencies providing exposure for developers to a diverse range of projects that can test their craft and creativity as coders.\u201d<\/p>\n
