IT Salary: IT Executives
IT salary levels clearly face challenges created by the economic downturn. Unfortunately, IT salary raises have been minimal or none at all. According to Janco Associates, an IT-focused consulting firm that conducts annual IT salary surveys, “there is now a surplus of seasoned IT professionals” – hence the ceiling on IT salary increases.
More findings from Janco relating to 2010 IT salary:
• Layoffs have focused on middle management and IT support staff.
• Many mid-sized enterprises have stopped hiring all IT professionals altogether.
• IT hiring is limited to a few selected positions as enterprise continue to cut costs.
As you can see, the last few years have been particularly tough on IT salary levels:
Large companies (223 organizations responded):
January 2007: $81,078
Mid-size companies (594 organizations responded):
January 2007: $75,096
Overall IT salary levels are declining in part because the performance bonuses of salaries are declining:
