I'm from Moscow, Russia.
For writing such things like CMS, data processing systems, site front/backends (for ~30'000 visitors/day resources),etc. maximum U'll get is ~$900/month. But nobody asks for diplomas or certificates...

But, the most annoying, that we have only 2 months of summer here :-\

Very good salary statistics here. Bear in mind, these are US figures - NOT Jamaican. :-\

[pogi_2nr]

Divide the US figures by 4 and you will get the Jamaican equivalent

which brings the question, if we are so cheap why isnt microsoft and other big companies outsourcing their application development over here?

[TwistedPair]

Becuase India is cheaper...

[hondaz]

to maintain relevance to Jamaican scenario, cause US figures are mostly irellevant here..

speaking from my and others experience in Jamaica.

$600,000 to $750,000 if yu just leave college (UWI, Utech) and a work with a reputable company.. bank, goverment etc

$800,000 to $1.2 mil if yu have bout 2 to three years experience inna the field from working inna reputable company

$1.5 Million if yu a senior man > 5 years experience working in a rep company.. Red Stripe , Digicel, Cablewireless, Bank etc...

$2 Million if yu qualification dem heaavy (Masters , or yu move yu way up inna the company 8 years > experience..,

> $2 million yu a part a the management structure and yu and HR can Negotiate yu salary

if yu work fi a private company , then is a touch and go.. generally dem want pay yu as little as possible.. so yu will work fi $700,000 even with donkey years worth of experience
