Salary by industry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it comes to job function, the biggest earners were IT managers, project managers and developers.<\/p>\n

It is further interesting that the “Government, Education and Health” sector paid the best salaries to technology professionals.<\/p>\n

Salary by region<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not surprising is that IT professionals in Johannesburg, South Africa’s economic hub, earned higher salaries than their counterparts in other regions.<\/p>\n

Professionals in the rest of Gauteng and Cape Town also earned higher than average salaries.<\/p>\n
