"The average salary of a programmer starts from 300-400 euros and goes to approximately 600 to 800 euros after two years of experience. Depending on their specialty and the calibre of their work, salaries can easily exceed 1,000 euros a month," believes Ana Ionescu, consultant with Pluri Consultants Romania.
