Distribution of Engineering Technician Salaries in Russia

So we've looked at the average salaries an Engineering Technician will earn in Russia. The next interesting data point is the distribution of salaries.

Salary ranges

We already know that an Engineering Technician can earn between 447,700 RUB and 1,283,600 RUB on average in Russia. This is known as the range in statistics.

The difference between the maximum and minimum values is a good indicator of variability in salaries, and can be used by employers to figure out how much they can expect to pay, and for employees to know how much they can earn.

Median salary

The median salary for an Engineering Technician in Russia is 794,900 RUB. This is the middle value in the distribution of salaries.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 794,900 RUB, and 50% of the population earn more than 794,900 RUB.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that's a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you're not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).

Percentiles

Percentiles are similar to the median salary, but instead of looking at the middle value, they look at the values in the top and bottom half of the distribution.

For the average Engineering Technician salary in Russia, 25% of the population are earning less than 558,300 RUB while 75% of the population earn more than 558,300 RUB.

75% of the population earn less than 979,600 RUB, and 25% of the population earn more than 979,600 RUB.

Like the median salary, the 25th and 75th percentile salaries can be used to determine which quartile you fall into so that you know whether you are being paid well enough compared to others in your profession and location.

The difference between a median and an average salary

The median and average salary are both indicators you can use to see if you are being paid fairly based on the overall population.

  • If your salary is higher than the average and the median salary, you are earning well compared to others.
  • If your salary is lower than the average and the median salary, it could indicate you are not being paid well enough.
  • If you are somewhere in between then it's tricky to determine if you are being paid well enough and you might need to research more closely.

Engineering Technician Salary by Experience Level in Russia

The most important factor in determining your salary after the specific profession is the number of years experience you have. It stands to reason that more years of experience will result in a higher wage.

We have researched the average engineering technician salary based on years of experience to give you an idea of how the average changes once you've worked for a certain amount of time.

  • 0 - 2 Years Experience. An Engineering Technician in Russia that has less than two years of experience can expect to earn somewhere in the region of 514,800 RUB.
