It is the only sector of the Ukrainian economy that has shown immunity to political and economic fluctuations, and demonstrated steady growth in number of jobs and competitive salary level over the past decade. About 60% of all engineers work for outsourcing companies and a quarter of them work for top 25 software companies. 7 IT professionals in Ukraine as a class receive one of the highest salaries ($1,600 net of tax monthly is a country average) 8 and form a basis for the expansion of the Ukrainian middle class. Those factors further stimulate the interest of Ukraine’s younger population in this profession, resulting in a rapidly-growing number of IT engineers in Ukraine.

IT UKRAINE FROM A TO Z PART 1: THE UKRAINIAN IT ECOSYSTEM Demographically speaking, IT professionals in Ukraine are one of the youngest active population groups, with 80% of them being under 30 and 25 being the most common age. 9 Over 75% of Ukrainian IT professionals have a university level degree and over 6% pursued a Masters or PhD. 10 The level of English proficiency among the general population is moderate and is catching up with most European countries. 11 Eighty percent of Ukrainian engineers, however, have an intermediate or higher level of English working proficiency – and this percentage is expected to grow in the future. Professional or technical English is being taught in every school, university and college as well as in many private IT schools as part of their programming curriculums. “There are a number of locations that offer a motivated and cost effective labor pool. However, if you need to successfully solve a complex technical challenge or turn-around a distressed project, Ukraine is your destination of choice.” Valeriy Kutsyy, CEO of international outsourcing provider Miratech 1.3.2. SALARY LEVELS The following three trends are observed in the current Ukrainian tech labor market: • Hiring activity is picking up compared with 2013 and 2014 • Salaries have flattened out but are still paid in USD • Many engineers are looking to relocate to other countries. Anna Stetsenko of Indigo, a tech recruiting agency with eight years of experience in Ukraine, confirms these trends: “In 2013/2014 many companies slowed down their hiring efforts and were proactively seeking for plan B options that often included relocating parts of the offices to other locations. In 2015 we saw the market regaining its strength and stability. The panic is over, hiring activity is up and we see an increasing number of investment opportunities coming to Ukraine. However, many engineers would still consider moving to Western economies if they had an opportunity.” The average salary of Ukrainian IT professionals has grown significantly in the past four years in USD terms, and has flattened or slightly decreased for some positions in 2014 and 2015. The average software engineer salary across and regions came to $1,600/month ($10/hour) in 2015. In 2015, the salary of project managers fell within $2,000 – $4,000 monthly while that of quality assurance managers was comprised between $500 and $2,100 monthly. 9 and 10. http://jobs.dou.ua/salaries/ 11. http://www.ef.nl/epi/ 27
