Freshers Salary 2010 - What You Can Expect in IT?

Salary is one prime criteria when it comes to choosing a company to attend interview calls. This is a confusing point for many Indian job seekers including freshers. I am here to help you with what you can expect from IT companies in India this year. I am not going to give you the accurate figures but a generalized of figure of what you can expect.

As everyone is aware, Indian companies are witnessing a post recession progress during this 2010. Earlier, 2009 was witnessing reduced attrition rate in IT due to fear of job security. The scenario has changed dramatically this year and attrition rate has gone considerably higher than previous year.

Good news for freshers

Though increasing rate is alarming for many companies, as freshers you can expect to benefit from this scenario. Yes, companies are willing to pay high to freshers in IT for the sake of retaining them for at least a couple of years. Yes, reducing attrition seems to be a priority exercise this year.

Any good IT company is willing to pay a salary of at least 3 lakh per year to freshers. However this number may vary depending upon the geographical location, company size and its performance during the past few years. Companies that have performed well even during the recession period may pay much higher than the 3 lakh figure to woo freshers.

Next Step - What You Should Do?

Sure, this is the right time for freshers to work hard to be successful in their job search to enter their dream company paying good salary.
