IT professionals likely to command top dollar in 2016

They can look forward to a 5% wage hike.

IT professionals will command top dollar next year, according to a report by recruitment firm Randstad.

The increasing number of Singapore SMEs, combined with the growing number of smartphone users and rapid adoption of cloud technology means that the demand for IT professionals is likely to go through the roof.

As such, IT professionals across the sector are likely to see a wage hike of up to 5%, while average bonus might also be worth one to three months’ salary. Jobseekers looking to jump ship to another company can expect an 8% to 13% pay rise.

Cloud specialists, cybersecurity experts, full-stack developers and UI/UX designers are likely to command the biggest jumps, said the report.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
