Are salaries this low for expats or locals???

I wouldn't say impossible, but definitely very hard without high-level fluency in English and a solid cybersecurity background. Out of the eight of us in Argentina, only one hadn't lived in an anglophone country before, but even that one exception has parents living in Ireland. Everyone else had lived and/or worked in the US or Canada for a few years, and the team lead was a Canadian who has been here for 15 years.

When we all had to do our mandatory English exams to see if we needed extra training, the one with the worst English on the team had a solid B2 spoken and C2 written level.

Did you say Ireland? I just posted about Argentina having a large Irish population.

I saw this survey online today but I don't know how credible it is. It says the average private sector salary closed 2025 at
1,798,332 pesos ($1,225 USD) per month, with a year-over-year variation of 44.34%, according to a survey conducted by Grupo Ceta, based on information collected from job posting monitoring, employment surveys, and official data.

Doubt these figures are right. Never heard of Grupo Ceta. Funny they are quoting average at almost 1.8 million pesos and all of this graphic for the different positions are all far below that. 😛

Send me where I can send my friends for all these jobs paying so high. Tons of my friends are unemployed and looking for jobs. The salaries look correct from this chart but not sure if the "average" is as high as they are saying except for professional jobs.

It's tough here because so much of the economy is under the table. But according to government statistics the numbers aren't pretty. Read another post. @Jakoval said it best. Third world salaries and first world prices.

I wouldn't go by anything official good or bad. Too much of the economy is underground.
