India and Brazil saw salary growth of 22.7% and 16.9% respectively across all tech roles, compared to 8% in the U.S. and 3.4% in Germany. India and Brazil’s large pool of educated and skilled workers may have been undervalued prior to the pandemic, and the increased demand for tech was good timing for these two countries in different ways. An increased willingness to hire remote for full-time roles in critical positions may also have driven this change.\u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>The world had high demand for technology in 2022, and India was successfully positioned with the supply of talent to meet it.
