Salary hikes for technology workers switching jobs have dropped by nearly half from the previous financial year due to slowing demand for tech services globally.
Software firms are now offering hikes of 18-22% to those jumping jobs, while earlier, such candidates would command an increase of over 40% — even up to 100-120% — in remuneration, according to data from staffing firms accessed by ET.
Offer ranges for many roles have dropped by as high as 35% - 40%, and the current salary ranges in offer are well in the moderated zone with no unusual hikes in play.
Full stack engineers are witnessing an average of 8%-16% drop to getting Rs 12 - 28 Lakh per annum this year as compared with Rs 15 - 32 Lakh per annum in FY22.
