In my experience, from what I see in Brazil, entry-level programmers with no professional experience are paid much more than the equivalent in other professions. And, even after years of "training" in college, they will need a year of two of actual on-the-job training before they start adding enough value to justify their cost. In short, a company that hires fresh-out-of-college programmers is making an investment in them.
- mattdeboard 15y agoThis is probably either a symptom or a contributor to Brazil's rising prominence on the world tech stage.
- thdn 15y agoIm interested on moving on to Brazil, how much its the average salary ? and there's some craiglist like site for IT jobs ??
- facorreia 15y agoIt's a bit hard to compare, with different costs of living and the overvaluation of the Brazilian Real exchange rate. But salaries are mostly way below American levels. A decent programmer can make US$ 20k/year. More gratuated developers, analysts and architects will make US$ 30k - 50k. Over US$ 60k would be considered a very good pay. As for websites, I suppose one of the biggest is http://www.catho.com.br/ http://www.catho.com.br/. As a foreigner you would probably want to go to São Paulo because it's the main economical center and it's pretty safe for Brazilian standards.
