Salary Survey Jan 2021 for IT, Data and Business Change – Ireland
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since we last checked in in April 2020. Together we have gone through a lockdown, a reopening, another lockdown, a US Presidential election, enough Zoom calls to last each of us a lifetime and now news of vaccines which appears to be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
The IT, Data and Business Change job market in Ireland has been through a similar journey, with a huge amount of change compressed into a short 6-month period. The rapid adoption of remote working, remote interviewing and remote onboarding has been a big adjustment for many, and with no fixed end date in sight, organisations have had to adapt and innovate their approach to collaboration and teamwork in particular. Building teams where people haven’t met remains a challenge, and at this point, there is a cohort of people out there who have joined a company and passed probation without ever meeting one of their new colleagues in person.
As far as hiring goes, there has been a remarkable level of resilience and robustness on display in organisations based in Ireland – after the inevitable pause in April and May 2020, many companies resumed previous hiring plans and have not faltered with the second lockdown. The demand for IT, Data and Business Change hires is a little reduced from the heights of 2019 and Q1 of 2020, but the fluidity of movement, availability of opportunities for IT professionals and buzz generated by organisations growing teams and opening offices is certainly back.
