Important criteria for the salary

The actual salary depends very much on: Industry, company size, region, function (support vs. development vs. coordination vs. project management), experience, additional qualifications, individual negotiation skills.

According to the latest wage study, ICT wages will rise on average - by around 0.4% on average in 2025. However, this shows that significant pay rises usually require more than just market movement, namely greater responsibility or better assessment of one's own skills.
