In our work experience, we've worked with more than 600 jobs and interviewed 24,000+ candidates. In addition, we regularly follow the current situation on the wage market. We've compiled all of our expertise, supplemented it with major research on pay rates from resources like Djinni and hh.ru, and released it here.
This data is relevant for Middle+ and Senior level candidates, as we work with these types of positions 95% of the time. For each category, there are five median salaries offered to job seekers from the appropriate geographic area when working remotely. It is known that Moscow residents have different salary expectations than candidates from smaller towns. Also, for example, the cost of living and income requirements will also be different in Riga and Kyiv.
The amounts are in gross. In the vast majority of cases, employers negotiate with employees for payment using the IE form or similar forms of registration for other countries. The tax rate in Russia is 6%, or even lower if you buy a patent (the cost depends on the area).
