What raises IT salaries in Nepal
- Working for foreign clients (outsourcing or product companies serving the US, Europe or Australia) usually pays more than local-market companies.
- Experience matters most in the first five years. Moving companies is often the fastest way to a big raise.
- In-demand skills (cloud, DevOps, data, mobile, React and Node) are paid more than general support roles.
