Quite a lot, in the rankings also increased open positions for those in food and HoReCa, IT and financial and accounting. All the signals we get from employers at the end of the year show that things will be as dynamic next year and that we will probably see even more impressive increases in IT, financial and, of course, again, on sales, "says Bogdan Badea, CEO eJobs Romania.

The North-West Region of the country is the second most attractive area for managers, from the income point of view, with a salary average of 6,281 lei net.
"Cluj-Napoca is the city that raises this region very much, due to the explosion of business in the recent years and the fact that being a university center has a huge nursery of candidates.
