Judging by the posted offers, starting salaries for blue-collar specialties begin at 25 thousand rubles.

This amount is offered, for example, to a wiring harness knitter, a coil winder, or a spring maker. A radio-electronic equipment assembler is promised from 50 thousand rubles.

Engineering positions are paid slightly higher. Lead design engineers and electronics engineers are offered from 57–59 thousand rubles, laboratory heads — from 50.7 thousand rubles, shop supervisors — from 57 thousand.
