What are average salaries in Buenos Aires?

Question

I work for a web company that would like to open an office in BA later this year. What would average salaries be for:

-bookkeeper/accountant with 2-3 yrs experience

-office manager for a small office of 15-20 people

-project manager for web projects (must speak English well)

-software engineer

-IT maintenance/manager

-DeskTop Publisher to do layout, formatting

-basic secretarial/admin

We'd need most people to speak some English, especially project managers, and engineers. Currently, most of our staff has college degrees and are in the 25 to 35 yrs age range. We'd like to replicate that if possible. Most people would need to have a few years experience.

I can't really find similar info on the web - suggestions?

Thanks!!

Well, I can tell you that nowadays the average salaries are between 1.000 and 1.200 pesos (US$ 315 and 378) for young people.

But, for those jobs you describe the average salaries are higher. An office manager receives 1.800 / 2000 pesos (US$ 567/ 630) and a secretarial/admin gets something like that or a bit lower.

A software engeneer, and an IT manager are getting paid about 2.500 and 2.600 pesos (US$ 788 and 820).

I'm almost sure that none of the positions you mention exceed the 2.800 or 3.000 pesos (US$ 883 / 950).

However, I can see that you're asking for highly qualified people, so, you have to know that a top salary for any of those would be 3.500 (US$ 1104); but more than that would be just crazy.

But understand me; this high salaries are opportunities for people, they wouldn't dare to ask that much because the chance to get the job would be considerably lower.

Of course I know! I can recomend you:

- www.zonajobs.com.ar

- www.bumeran.com.ar

However both are very good, zonajobs has a better and larger data base than bumeran.

My best wishes!
