There is an increased need for IT staff in companies to create and manage online platforms as well as rapidly evolve the organisation's online presence to meet the demands that come with lockdown. If a career in IT is what you are interested in, we broke down what roles you can consider, what you would require for them and what the current average salary is per role.
Salary negotiation has always been the “moment of truth” when interviewing for a new job. How many times have you been low balled after 5 interviews and 2 months invested in the hiring process?
Following our discussion with VCs about “future of work” trends of 2020 we’ve asked HR experts to share their thoughts on the current situation. Amid all these changes, how does the current job market affect job seekers?
Interestingly, salary is one of the biggest reasons for people wanting to leave their jobs. Recent research shows that 70.82% of people who have quit their job did so due to money. Interestingly, it differed between the various age groups, with few Baby Boomers being motivated to look for new jobs due to lower incomes.
The demand side shock on the housing market, triggered by the perspective of remote work being proactively pursued by companies -- such as Facebook announcing a plan to achieve a 50% share of remote workers in 10 years -- is opening new opportunities for workers and a freedom to choose where to live.
One of the biggest considerations, when applying for a new job, is what the salary is going to be for the position. In many cases, discussions around the remuneration usually come later on during the interview process. This could possibly lead to the candidate abandoning the application as their salary requirements have not been fulfilled.
