Business Insider SA reports that lawyers and accountants at the top of their field in SA are likely to earn the biggest salaries, but certain developers and analysts working in the technology space can make nearly R2 million per year without the responsibility of managing other people.
By contrast, factory managers can expect to top out at around R1.7 million per year. The relatively high salaries in the technology space are partially explained by international demand, says Paul Newman, operating director of international recruitment company Michael Page, in a foreword to its "South Africa Salary Guide and Hiring Insights 2023" report released on Monday. "Various industries are open to adopting a work from anywhere approach should their operations allow for such an arrangement; however, we’ve seen the biggest interest from the technology sector. South Africa appears to be high on the priority list due to time zones, language, available resources, and cost, which creates a challenge for local employers competing for the same talent," Newman pointed out. Michael Page captures details from job advertisements and placements throughout the year, which is "supplemented with insights from our consultants validated by their interactions with employers and job applicants in the region" to come up with salary benchmarks for in-demand skills. The Business Insider SA report outlines the top-end annual salaries that can be earned in the top-paying jobs in sales, engineering, finance, and other fields in SA, according to data from Michael Page South Africa.
