Salaries
If globally the labour market has been replenished with off-the-job staff (during the pandemic), then on the tech market everything is somewhat different: despite the fact that some IT companies (especially startups) were cutting jobs at some time, the tech candidates' growth is out of the question.
Rather on the contrary: it has become more difficult to hire tech specialists, as they are less actively considering new offers, especially from Russian tech companies.

These factors mean that salaries on the tech market have become much higher. The reason lies in the higher competition for tech professionals, and the need to offer significantly better conditions to motivate the candidate to consider the offer.
By the way, the pay gap in regions and megacities has practically disappeared today. With the spread of remote work and the growing shortage of tech professionals, specialists from small towns began to receive almost the same salaries as tech professionals from the metropolis. Therefore, there is no chance to save money by hiring a specialist from the region.
Conditions
Six months ago, remote work was one of the most competitive advantages of IT companies. Some specialists were even ready to lower salary expectations in order to have the possibility to work from around the world.
Today everything has changed: most of all IT specialists are interested in stability. In addition, many tech talents are even more eager to consider offers with relocation abroad. Due to the economic crisis in the country, salaries in world currency (dollars, euros, pounds) have become even more attractive.
