Pay and demand in Turkey and beyond
The Turkish market. Istanbul is the region's largest IT hub: banks, e-commerce, game studios and startups hire developers, analysts and data specialists. IT is one of the few fields where junior specialists quickly reach an income above the national average, and English often matters more than Turkish. Because ranges are re-indexed annually with the minimum wage, treat any salary figure as valid for its year only.
What raises income: pet projects and a GitHub portfolio, cloud certifications, working-level English. A personalised comparison of current salary ranges by city and employer is provided under an agreement with StudyU.
