Many platforms promise favorable rates, but do not guarantee the safety of your funds. That is why Obmify appeared — a cryptocurrency exchange platform that provides Ukrainian users not only with up-to-date rates, but also real guarantees thanks to proven exchangers and insured deposits.

Salary is one of the most important criteria when looking for a job. Often, salary expectations and the company’s budget do not coincide, and the expected match between the candidate and the employer does not occur. There are also often situations when the employer promises regular salary reviews at the beginning of cooperation, but as a result, after some time the conditions change, and the candidate is forced to remind himself of the promised increase. Or the employee realizes that he is worth more and dares to ask for a salary increase. dev.ua asked experts how to properly ask for a salary increase. Here’s what they told us.

An interesting precedent has occurred in Ukrainian IT: recruiters mistook a deepfake video of a candidate for the real thing. The hero of this story was Philip Shurpyk, Head of Engineering at a Ukrainian AI startup. As he told DOU, the man found out that he was supposedly applying for a job that he never applied for. Moreover, he allegedly went on a video call with recruiters, and his fake resume was selected.

Gamification has its origins in the simple game that people have been playing since tribal times. Back then, gaming practices began with rituals and mysteries, but today games unite thousands of people around the world and take many different forms. Can this practice be extrapolated to work processes? Definitely yes, because gamification is a way to make interactions in a company more natural and dynamic by giving real-world tasks the characteristics of a game world. Game mechanics engage people not through coercion, but through interest and competition. This creates an environment in which learning occurs organically, and work processes become clearer and less routine.

The launch of the government project «Diya.City Invest» aims to create a favorable environment for venture investments in the Ukrainian IT sector.

After all, any good initiatives can lose their attractiveness due to gaps in law enforcement.

By May 1, 2025, individuals who are controllers of foreign companies must submit relevant reports to the Ukrainian tax authority (for legal entities — by March 3). Fines for failure to submit a report on CIC in 2025 — UAH 908,400, for failure to report — UAH 302,800. The good news — fines are not applied until the end of the war. The bad news — after its end, residents with CIC will have only 6 months to submit all missed reports and correct all errors. In this blog, I answer frequently asked questions from individuals who are controllers of foreign companies, which often arise when preparing reports.

Imagine: you just paid for a service, and the funds are instantly credited to your account. No waiting, no worries — you get a receipt in a couple of seconds and move on. And next to you, another client who used the bank’s services without instant payments has been nervously updating the application for 15 minutes, waiting for his money. This is not a fantasy, but the new reality of payments in Ukraine. Thanks to the Instant Payments service from Raif, which works on the basis of the NBU SEP 4.1 service, clients can transfer funds much faster. This is a revolution in the financial services market, which seemed unattainable a year ago. So far, the service has been connected in 20 banks in Ukraine. And Raif is one of the first. dev.ua talked with Artem Artemov, Director of the IT Development Department for Payment Services, and Vitaliy Borozenko, Director of the IT Development Department for Automated Banking Systems, and learned how the Instant payments service works, which allows you to transfer funds from client to client in literally up to 10 seconds, who implemented it in Raiffeisen, and why so far only a very limited number of banks can provide such a service.

A little less than two months have passed since Donald Trump’s inauguration, and Ukrainians have already stopped counting the number of cases when his statements, and most importantly, his steps, have caused at least surprise, and usually a slight (the stage may vary) shock. Unfortunately, in the conditions of a full-scale war with the Russian Federation, Ukraine is too dependent on the American international position, aid, weapons, and intelligence not to worry about this. But still, as Trump himself said, referring to his detachment from events in Europe, «there is an ocean between us.» Therefore, dev.ua decided to ask Ukrainian IT professionals and representatives of the technology sector who live and work on the other side of the ocean — directly in the USA. We asked them to share their thoughts on how much, in their opinion, the new format of US international policy will affect the country’s economy and specifically the American tech sector. Could this also have consequences for their own jobs and financial security (if they work for American companies). What are the moods of representatives of the tech sector caused by the declaration of trade wars and sharp jumps in stock markets, do Ukrainians discuss this with their colleagues, and is political and economic turbulence really felt in American society?
