Fresh graduates or career-transitioners can expect starting packages between PKR 55,000 to PKR 85,000 per month.

Companies in tech hubs like Lahore (DHA, Gulberg) and Karachi (I.I Chundrigar Road, Clifton) generally pay on the higher end, especially if you show solid SQL and Power BI dashboard projects on your CV.
