Specialist recruitment firm, Michael Page, has published its latest salary survey \u2013 showing what skilled professionals in 164 different jobs in South Africa can expect to earn in 2019.<\/p>\n

While the majority of sectors remain under pressure, significant drivers for more positive development will come from the banking & financial services, IT and transportation sectors, the recruiter said.<\/p>\n

“As a result of limited household spending and private investment over the last 3 years, local and international organisations continue to be cautious when expanding into the African markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalaries and bonuses have tended to follow a consistent pattern over the past five years, with steady increases to reflect inflationary pressures.”<\/p>\n

Below are the average salaries IT and tech professionals can expect to earn in 2019.<\/p>\n

The averages represent annual salaries in thousands of rands (R\u2019000).<\/p>\n
