What are developers being paid across different industries? What skills have the highest earning potential? What compensation packages can developers expect? What are their pet peeves?
We want to bring more transparency to developer careers and technical trends, so that you can make informed career decisions and companies can build more impactful tech teams!
Thanks to over 3500 responses in South Africa and over 500 responses in the Netherlands last year, we were able to bring you:
- The biggest report of its kind with the State of South Africa’s Software Developer Nation report, and
- Unique, in-depth localised data with the State of the Netherland’s Developer Nation report.
Now it’s time to contribute to the community reports again, and make the 2022 report bigger and better than ever before.

OfferZen’s Mission
OfferZen is an online developer job marketplace in South Africa and the Netherlands. Founded and run by developers themselves, we’ve been working on our mission to help software makers unlock their potential for six years now. At our core, we’re about matching top talent with exciting opportunities in tech, but we’ve invested heavily in the local tech ecosystem from the start – first in South Africa and now also in the Netherlands.
From connecting software makers through local maker evenings and tech events to sharing content created by software makers in the community – we want to help developers thrive in their tech careers.This includes events, blogs, podcasts, mentoring programs, make days, tech editorial services and even programmable bank accounts.
We want to give developers access to the information they need to be successful in their careers.
That’s also why we regularly create data-driven resources, using both our platform data and input from the tech community, like the State of the Nation surveys.
We can’t wait to share the results with you!
