About Pakistan Pays
Real salaries. Who's hiring. Who's cutting. The money side of work in Pakistan, with every number sourced.
"Kitni salary hai?" The question everyone asks. The answer nobody shares.
In Pakistan, we'll discuss petrol prices, cricket and politics with anyone, but salaries stay a secret. So people negotiate blind, accept lowball offers, and only find out what the market pays when a colleague leaves. Pakistan Pays is here to change that.
We turn scattered salary data, job posts, company news and public reports into clear, sourced breakdowns.
What we publish
- Salaries: ranges by role and city, from published sources such as Levels.fyi and PayScale, with the source and sample size shown every time.
- Who's hiring: companies and roles opening up across tech, finance, telecom, startups and remote work.
- Who's cutting: a layoff tracker for Pakistan, with every entry labelled Confirmed, Reported, Unconfirmed or Disputed.
- Roundups: the biggest hiring and layoff moves in one place.
Our rules
- We never invent salaries. Ranges come from named sources, and we say so.
- Sources are linked on every article.
- Rumours are labelled as rumours. If a company denies a report, we print the denial too.
- No names of affected individuals without their consent.

Who it's for
Job seekers, employees negotiating raises, fresh graduates, HR and hiring managers, founders, and anyone who wants to know where the Pakistani job market is heading.
How we use AI
Articles are drafted with AI assistance from the sources we cite, and some also appear as posts on our LinkedIn page. Every figure and link is checked against the listed sources before anything is published, and you can send corrections through our contact page.
