A desire to develop the working conditions or terms of employment at the workplace is the biggest motivator for taking up a position of trust, shows a survey of employee representatives conducted by the Federation of Professional and Managerial Staff YTN. A third of the survey respondents reported this as the main reason for taking up the position of trust.

Labour Market Survey. The median salary of the members of the Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK was 5,534 euros per month in October 2023. There are significant differences in salaries between sectors and positions.

The starter salary recommendation is a good starting point for requesting a specific salary as a new graduate. When thinking about your desired salary, you might also want to take a look at TEK's Salary Surveyor and salary statistics.

The median salary of TEK (Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland) members was 3.8 percent higher in October 2022 than a year earlier. However, consumer prices also increased by 8.3 percent.

Agreeing on a lowball salary is not a smart move for the employer either: it does not motivate high performance or ensure commitment, but instead the employee will be constantly looking for a new job.

The salaries of TEK members in the Uusimaa region are some 8 % higher than the salaries of members elsewhere in the country. This difference has not changed in years.
