Jobs in the IT industry are the most in-demand and best-paid around the world. That is why the Argentina Programa initiative is so important for the country's development.
But how much does a jr. like those who graduate from the Argentina Program? The remunerations from which the salary scale starts for programmers could vary according to which specific sector they start working in and the programming language they use, but in no case for a junior full stack programmer - that is the level of training to which Argentina Program points - would charge less than 90 thousand pesos per month.
The Government estimates that -according to the projections of the technology industries- they will need to cover 10,000 jobs per year for sectors such as software, industry 4.0 and data analytics, mainly. But in any case, they consider that due to technological progress, any company in any field will soon need "a team of at least two programmers."
The acceleration of the digital transformation and the exchange rate gap meant that certain positions not only grew in demand, but also that their salaries rose far beyond what the market expected.

In the country they work mostly independently, and can have incomes from US$1,000 per month for the most junior. But once they gain some experience, their income can rise to US$3,000 per month. And if they make the leap to exporting their services, the numbers grow exponentially, approaching US$5,000 per month.
