van Panchenko, head of the integration committee of the Association of Software Developers "Domestic Software", deputy general director of the company Postgres Professional, believes that it is unfair to give greater benefits to specialists who have left than to those who have stayed.

According to him, it is necessary to continue, as far as possible, to develop international cooperation, shifting its vector from some countries to other - more friendly ones. "It is important to perceive other countries as a human resource. There are enough foreigners who can be attracted to the Russian IT sphere, thereby expanding human resources. Russia should be a global IT power. If you look at the world's IT giants, none of them work within their own country - employees are hired from all over the world. The state could simplify this process for companies as much as possible with the help of tax regimes. For example, equating foreign workers with Russian ones in the matter of paying taxes if they work for a domestic company," concluded Ivan Panchenko.

Victoria Pluzhnikova, Head of Employer Brand Promotion Department at IT company Auriga, notes that, as practice shows, sanctions do not work when trying to retain IT specialists. "Characterized by behavioral inertia, technical specialists are good at calculating risks and potential benefits, and in order to bring programmers back to Russia, it is necessary to create a significant positive incentive. Benefits, additional opportunities and the creation of comfortable living and working conditions can help. But it is also important to understand that IT specialists do not live in a vacuum, they have wives/husbands, children and parents, to whom benefits often do not apply," says Victoria Pluzhnikova. According to her, the environment has a significant influence and often becomes a decisive factor in making a decision to leave the country or return. "In this regard, creating an opportunity for specialists who have left to improve their housing conditions in Russia may well play into their hands. Especially considering that many have faced not only difficulties adapting abroad, but also the need to spend a significant part of their income on housing," she believes.

The head of the community of IT employees, entrepreneurs and investors, Evgeny Titarenko, noted that the key request of IT specialists is to receive a legislatively enshrined opportunity to defer mobilization.
