“There’s a salary bubble in the IT sector, which will probably burst at some point. New companies entering the market are throwing money at people and it is natural because they have to attract people with something,” said Tudor Postolache, head of operations with Amber Studio, a Romanian electronic games company.
On the other hand, the labor market is still suffering from the lack of skilled IT candidates. The many job offers they get make candidates more demanding, when it comes to salaries, although their training is not as good.
“There are few people in the IT industry and less and less well trained but with higher and higher salary demands. They won’t work unless we let them work in a programming language of their choice,” Postolache said.
