Work in Scottish FinTech? It might be time for a pay rise, Hays has found.
In Brief:
Almost half of the top 20 salary increases in Scotland for 2021 are in FinTech.
Hays says that nine roles were in Financial Technology of the 10 biggest salary increases.
The recruiter is teaming up with FinTech Scotland to create a pipeline of tech talent.
What does this mean?
It’s no secret that there’s been a tech skills shortage for a long time – now, the so-called Great Resignation has left firms around the world scrambling for talent, and FinTech has been hugely impacted with employees now asking for much higher salaries as well as other elements like flexible working.
Some of the key areas FinTech Scotland and Hays Technology will focus on include cybersecurity, mobile banking, cloud applications, AI and blockchain.
