About 25% of IT-specialists in Ukraine receive a salary of $1000-$2000 per month. Approximately half of IT specialists left in Ukraine have an income up to $3000. At the same time, the level of earnings over $6000 is typical for only 9% of Ukrainian IT workers. This is stated in the study DOU .
It is noted that specialists who moved abroad usually have higher incomes. This is due to the fact that during the full-scale invasion, higher-paid specialists were more likely to leave. Only 35% of those outside the country have salaries up to $3,000, while over $6,000 is earned by 19%.
