Demand and earning potential
The Turkish market. Turkey's industry, energy, construction and defence companies hire engineers constantly; demand is strongest in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and the industrial centres of Anatolia. International contractors pay noticeably more than local firms. Salary benchmarks age fast - ranges are reset every year with minimum-wage indexation, so rely on current-year figures.
What raises income: CAD/BIM and specialist software, internships in industry, English (German is a plus). A personalised comparison of current salary ranges by city and employer is provided under an agreement with StudyU.
