The highest salaries in Moscow at the end of October were recorded among Java programmers, product managers and business analysts: their median earnings ranged from 250,000 to 340,000 rubles per month. RIA Novosti reported this, citing a SuperJob study whose data is presented by Life.ru.
Distribution across the ranking
First place went to Java developers with a median salary of 340,000 rubles. Product managers trailed them by 10,000, while business analysts closed out the top three with a figure of 250,000 rubles. The top five also included a construction control engineer (200,000) and a heavy truck driver (190,000). These are median values: half of the specialists earn more than the stated amount, and half earn less.
Who saw their salaries grow the fastest
Over the year, the incomes of retail lending specialists grew the fastest — by 23%, to 135,000 rubles. Lathe turners and debt collection staff received a 17% raise, to 140,000. Financial managers and electricians gained 14% each: their earnings reached 160,000 and 125,000 rubles respectively.
Context: expectations for November
Life.ru previously wrote, that experts predict that from November 1, pay increases will go primarily to qualified workers who are hard to replace: welders, locksmiths, electricians and machinists retain the best chances of a raise. A mass revision of salaries is not expected in most industries, however. The October SuperJob ranking shows that the highest median salaries are still concentrated in IT and management, while the fastest annual growth belongs to specialists in lending and blue-collar professions.
