IT Industry Salary Survey Guides?

[thatsright]

I work in IT and need to know what the industry average pay is for 2015 for my position or future position. I'll be applying for a job soon. I used glassdoor.com and its kind of useless. Anyone know of a better site(s)?

 

[ultimatebob]

Salary.com is pretty good for a baseline.

 

[brianmanahan]

glassdoor is decent if you average out among different companies in a given industry and location

$10/hr

IT is a busted overpopulated field. Choose another. The salary ceiling is low. You are on ATOT.

 

[Matthiasa]

Anywhere between $10/hr to >$200k a year. Without additional information we can't actually give you an idea of what it might be...

 

[MustISO]

Some job postings list salary ranges, you can use that as a guide as well.

job postings on Monster often have salary ranges.

What kind of job do you think you're going to get?

Geek Squad guys only get paid like $10-$15 an hour. That's all going to the company.

$20/hr to start for bottom-tier helpdesk is pretty good, actually.

A+ certification is basically a computer salesperson's cert.

that looks like a decent guide

guess i was underpaid by about 20$k as a lead dev at my last job

glad i got out of there

I make a lot less than 250k, drive a fozzie, and date an awesome non model woman who cooks dinner for me on a semi regular basis.

He is making fun of alkemyst, bro.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Yeah, but can you make an M3, drive a supermodel, and date $250k? That'd be a real trick.

that actually seems to be pretty damn accurate, nice find.

2016 !??! It's predicting the future though!

that being said, I am wooooooooooooooooooooooooefully underpaid.

 

[zCypher]

"IT" is too vague and the salary is too location-dependent for anyone to provide you with any meaningfully accurate response.

If you provide a job title and a location then maybe a good answer can be given. "IT" can mean entry level helpdesk monkey, or IT engineer, network architect, consultant, developer, admin, various analyst jobs or a zillion other things.

 

[ultimatebob]

Do 2nd level help desk people really make $60K a year now? That seems super high to me.

That is what we call a computer janitor position. It's entry level, what do you expect?
