Translated from 日本語 • View original Although it is said that "you don't just choose a company based on salary", salary is one of the most important factors for many people.
The Internet is also full of articles like salary rankings of each company. Everyone was curious.
Despite this, Japanese society has a tendency to talk about money openly.
In such a situation, I thought it would be interesting to talk about salary, so I would like to write this article.
Colorkrew Salary Reality
I make raising my salary one of the main goals of management.
By the way, the idea of salary is summarized in this article, so please take a look if you like.
Colorkrew's salary was about 8.3 million yen on average last year. In the IT industry, this is one of the highest salary levels, including major companies.
However, even in Japan, it is still low compared to major companies with an average annual income of over 10 million yen, which are filled with so-called academic elites, and it is about half that of American IT companies such as GAFAM, so the salary is high! It's not at a level that can be said.
I feel like it's already against the title...
How Colorkrew's Salary Has Changed Over the Last 10 Years
Ten years ago, the average salary at Colorkrew was around 6 million yen. New employees have a theoretical annual income of 3.5 million yen, and the salary of a manager-level person is 10 million yen or less.
Anyway, it was unavoidable because the performance was poor, but it is much lower than it is now.
By the way, the performance at that time was about "giving everyone 5 million yen and not doing anything is less of a deficit".
In the 10 years since then, our salary has increased by an average of about 2 million yen. The average age has also dropped slightly, so it feels like it's actually going up.
How did you get paid?
So, how exactly did you raise your salary?
Salaries at Colorkrew are graded. Therefore, if you want to increase your average salary, you can easily increase it by raising the base of each grade.
However, we hardly did bass up.
We took the method of creating a new grade and raising only those who have leveled up.
At Colorkrew, which is flat, just staying at the company for a long time will not increase your salary. On the contrary, if the value of human resources stagnates and the value of human resources decreases, the grade will go down.
I digress a little, but many companies don't have many mechanisms that can reduce salaries. Of course, Colorkrew also has overmost few downwards rather than rises.
However, I think that the possibility of a decline is why we are able to operate a tense personnel evaluation in a good way.
In a sense, it is a harsh world where only those who have the will to continue to grow remain, but on the other hand, even if you are young or have little experience in the company, if your ability is recognized, your salary will continue to increaseIt is.
It was not the Japanese who raised their salaries the fastest.
Salary increases at the timing of quarterly evaluations.
In the past, it was called "real-time promotion and demotion" and it was possible to promote every month. However, if it's a month, I'm too busy with personnel matters, so I can only do it once every three months, and now I'm calm.
It is common at Colorkrew that you come in at the age of a second new graduate, come in with a relatively low salary, stand out, and double your salary to exceed 10 million yen in 4 to 5 years.
Until now, the fastest salary increase has been done by foreign engineers.
He came in as a new employee and three and a half years later, he had already tripled his salary. The speed of the increase is too fast, the system cannot keep up, and I have skipped two grades along the way.
That is the fastest record for Colorkrew's speed promotion so far.
I hope that there will be young people who will surpass that in the future.
What is Colorkrew's salary in their 20s?
Colorkrew's salary structure is designed so that "even if you are in your 20s, if you are excellent, you can exceed 10 million yen."
However, at the moment, it seems that only about 10% of the best people, or about 10% of the market, can reach it.
Of course, it depends on each person, so some people go up as soon as they come in, while others may not get a salary increase for many years.
Future Goals
One of my management goals is to be a company with an average annual income of 15 million yen.
At this level, you will be one of the top in Japan, and you will be in a good position globally.
The distance from now to that point is still a long way off.
I believe that we can reach that level only when we achieve explosive growth in our business and global expansion from a narrow area of domestics, so I would like to work hard together to achieve that.
