What salary can an Indian computing master's graduate expect in Ireland after completing a degree in big data analytics or computing?

Entry-level developer and data roles in Ireland for new graduates start around €40,000 per year. For candidates who arrive with prior work experience, such as 16 months of ABAP development, and who complete a master's in a computing-related field, the more realistic starting range is €55,000 to €60,000 per year. Strong candidates at top companies, Google, Amazon, Meta, Salesforce, and others with Dublin offices, can reach €70,000 to €80,000 including base salary and benefits at the entry to mid-level range.

• These figures are significantly higher than equivalent roles in India at the same career stage, which is the primary financial motivation for the Ireland route for many Indian developers. The salary gap is partially offset by the higher cost of living in Dublin, rent alone absorbs €650 to €800 per month, but the net saving and savings accumulation rate is substantially higher in Ireland than in India for the same experience level.
• Salary progression in Ireland is also meaningfully faster than in Indian IT companies for developers who move between roles, which is a normal part of career management in the Irish tech market.
