Re: Average Salaries of I.T. Professionals
I've been out of IT work for a few years, but those numbers look very high to me. When I left in 2006, I was making $45,000/year in Colorado. I was supporting ~100 people by myself, covering basically everything that plugged into any kind of wall socket; intranet (HTML, PHP, MySQL), phone (3Com), LAN/WAN, desktop, lab machines, email (postfix, qpop), firewalls, copiers, printers, projectors, blah blah blah.
Were it me, I would never use salary numbers posted on any website, they always seem to be high. Maybe people state what they wish they made instead of what they do make.
Granted, I've generally worked for small companies, mostly start-ups, and salary was never the most important consideration (actually way down the list, after work environment and location). |
