Let’s dig into the detail
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Perl Jobs
• Despite what you may read the Perl Market is strong
• Lots of hires through organic growth• More than just writing legacy code • Jobs at all levels • Companies investing in training
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
What form do they take?• Companies are looking at Perl Developers with
more than just back-end development. • Lots of emphasis on Full-Stack • If you don’t already know it have a look at
JavaScript • There are lots of roles with a DevOps focus (We
can debate what that role actually looks like another time)
• A developer with versatility is in high demand
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Where in the World are they?• We are seeing Perl Jobs all around the world • UK is always strong • I hear there is a large Perl house in Amsterdam • Although the Dutch Market is very strong • We have roles across – Germany, Sweden,
Portugal, Spain, Austria, U.S. to name a few
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Is everyone Moving away?
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
No
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Or as we are in Romania
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Nui
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
That’s great, there are jobs…!
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
And wait I can get paid for it?
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
What’s the money like?
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
What does salary depend on?
• How do companies define level?• Is it all on years’ experience? • How much of a factor is personality?• What about location? • Size of company?
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Junior Developer / Graduate / New Developer
• I’m going to base this on years of experience • So let say 0-2 years • Salary (£ GBP)• £25,000 maybe even £30,000• Again be aware of the factors we have already
mentioned
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Mid level Developer
• So again with experience – 3 to 5 years • There are a rough guide with the brackets of
experience. • £40,000 to £50,000
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
Senior Developer
• 5 + Years experience • Unlike the others as the salaries are higher it’s
more dependant on technical ability • £55,000 to £65,000 • What’s senior in one company might not be
in another
@Perlrick www.eligo.co.uk/technology
