CALCULATE YOUR MARKET VALUE.

All too often we see experienced Java and Kotlin developers being underpaid.
More importantly, there is often a lack of transparency and disclosure about the pay model.
At Team Rockstars IT, we believe that can be done differently.

Knowing your market value is hugely important as a Java developer.
Within the IT sector, there are many different companies with different pay scales.
It often happens that you can earn 500 euros more when you switch jobs!
But how do you know whether your salary is in line with the market if you only have a limited frame of reference?

That’s where we like to help you.
Because of our broad experience within the IT sector and diverse portfolio of clients, we can make a good assessment of what you are worth.
By looking together at your experience with frameworks (such as Hybernate, Quarkus, Apache Kafka or Jakarta EE) and ways of working within organizations (in the Cloud or on-premises), we make a realistic estimate of what you could earn. Discover your market value with our tool and receive it on your 06 number within one business day.

If you wish, we will remove your number afterwards.

YOUR SALARY UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.

Today, organizations work with all kinds of different ways of remuneration.
Payroll, secondment, midlance, freelance.
Of course in this, permanent salaried employment remains the most popular, but you see more and more organizations betting on secondment or midlance, for example.
This offers variety in the work, in addition to often offering many growth and training opportunities.

A common disadvantage with secondment is the lack of transparency.
Java and Kotlin developers receive little pay relative to the hourly rate requested, but not knowing their hourly rate also makes comparison difficult!

That’s where a midlance model can be interesting, for example, as a Java and Kotlin Developer, as you get a percentage of the revenue you generate.
Fair enough, right?
At Team Rockstars we believe in openness and transparency, which is why we chose the midlance model.
We do this with a fixed monthly salary, so that you can pay your bills even without an assignment.

how does a javanese increase his/her market value in the it market?

As a Java or Kotlin engineer, there are many things you can do to increase your value within the company you work for.
If you have knowledge of techniques such as Spring Boot, Jakarta EE, Quarkus, Apache Kafka, among others, and have taken training/courses in these, it can significantly increase your value as a Developer.

Also writing blogs, giving Q&As, and speaking at conferences will raise your profile within the Java domain and allow you to flourish as a Java or Kotlin Engineering Expert.
As more and more companies are migrating data to the Cloud, knowledge of platforms such as Azure & AWS is also definitely valuable.
If you even obtain a number of certifications from this, it makes you demonstrably experienced in this area of expertise and thus again increases your value as an IT professional.
