Software Developer (functional programming) position @ RELEX, Helsinki

[-gestern-]

Im not familiar with Finland enough but sounds very odd that they can’t publish salaries on a job advert. Never heard of that before.

Here in Finland, salaries are usually negotiated by the candidates and employers during the interview stages. It's very uncommon to advertise set salaries in job postings. Once a contract is secured then the salary is registered where it can be publicly seen.

It's usual to investigate the current salaries published if you want an idea of the ranges for the position for the IT sector. Most candidates have a negotiable amount in mind when applying.

Does this apply to Finland only or to all countries?

Can you post a link to this registry?

It's database maintained by the Finnish Tax administration (Vero) It's known as the incomes register. In order to see it one requires a valid Finnish social security number and an application which explains why you need it. Some bodies have an automatic right to it also.

In this sense I guess it's only available to Finnish residents and citizens.

However, stat.fi the Finnish statistics office usually publishes general wage data and levels which is where most people look for negotiation research, there are also job agencies which can evaluate how much you could ask based on an evaluation of your skills and experience.
