Which IT developers earn the most in the Philippines?

Senior-level Oracle developers earned the most in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector in the first six months of the year, according to data released on Monday by job portal ICTjob.ph.

The ICT Barometer showed that Oracle developers in senior positions had an average monthly salary of P161,500, reflecting an 85.63% increase from the P87,000 in the same period last year.

They were followed by senior-position Python developers with P158,000; HTML/CSS developers with P142,500; and JavaScript/JQuery with P121,500.

“There are only a few IT professionals in the talent pool who are knowledgeable in programming Python versus other software such as Java and PHP,” said Fred Tshidimba, founder and chief innovation officer at ICTjob.ph.

“But this does not mean that Java professionals are easier to hire. What it means is that there is more Java/PHP-equipped talent compared to those who are experienced in Python,” he added.

Here is a complete list of developer skills and their average monthly pay based on experience.

The ICT Barometer provides data on estimated gross monthly salaries of different IT professions based on the corresponding role, specialization, skill, and level of expertise.

Results were based on data gathered from ICTjob.ph’s clients and their requirements, versus the IT talent’s asking salary and skills in January to June 2019. —Jon Viktor Cabuenas/VDS, GMA News
