The first image contains two curves, that reflect proportion of the actual salary values in comparison to the maximum value reached during this period of time. Please note, that two lines differ only in the rate between USD and Euro currencies.
The second chart shows salary growth level for different categories of expertise. In the terms of this article, the following terminology is being used:
- beginner - entry level technician (0 years of experience);
- specialist - intermediate level (1-2 years of experience in particular area);
- professional - advanced level (3-4 years of experience in particular area);
- expert - a professional with 5 or more years of experience in particular area.
On the next chart, you can see how much IT people earns in comparison to Experts' salaries. Please keep in mind, that Expert's salary doesn't mean highest possible salary in the industry. In this data, it's the average among IT professionals having strong experience in particular area.
The next two images take into account the level of inflation. That explains why average salaries didn't show significant increase during the period till 2005. The recession in the beginning of 2008 is caused by a bit different reasons, but it's a topic for a separate article ;)
The last chart shows, how the salary grows while a person gets her/his IT experience. Red line uses historical data from the previous graph. Blue line uses only up-to-date salaries and assumes that they are not changing through time for each level of IT employee expertise.

Serge, the charts are not showing up for me -- looks like they're linked to a private Google spreadsheet :-/ [ Andrei D. ]
I'm sorry, I published the wrong document and had to block it for some time. Now, the problem is fixed.

I am really interested in "in depth" information about salaries in Belarus. Are you interested in some kind of cooperation. PLease contact me: *********.
Serge - thank you for providing this information. very interesting to learn. Any idea what the average price point is for a programmer (expert) in Belarus?
not sure if my comment went through. can you advise what the typical expert salary range would be?
I put salary statistics on hold about a year ago, so at this moment I can't provide exact averaged numbers. However, I still have access to a set of data source, so If you describe your understanding of expert programming (work experience, specialization, publicity, etc.) then I should be able to provide some answer.
Please feel free to contact me privately with the details.
