About devlk

devlk helps software developers make better career decisions. We write practical, first-hand guides on the questions that matter most and are hardest to get straight answers to:

• Salaries: what developers really earn, by role, experience and company type.
• Careers: CVs, interviews, switching jobs and getting promoted.
• Remote work: finding and winning jobs with companies abroad.
• Payments & tax: receiving foreign payments and staying on the right side of the tax rules.
• Companies: how tech companies hire, and what working there is like.

Why devlk exists#

Good career information for developers is scattered across private chats, social media threads and outdated forum posts. Much of it is hearsay. We want one place where the answers are clear, current and honest, starting with developers in Sri Lanka and growing to developers everywhere.

Who writes here#

Our guides are written by working developers and people who hire them. Every article shows who wrote it and when it was last updated. Read our editorial policy to see how we research and fact-check.
