Download this salary
survey to see how
your pay compares to peers'
by Judith N. Mottl.
The “2002 Information Technology Compensation
Study,” which TR members can
download to review, reports both good and bad news regarding IT compensation
levels.
The study, from Janco Associates, Inc.,
based in Park City, UT, states that for the first year since 1985, there’s been
an overall decline in the benchmark salary for top tech performers. Most of the
decrease is based on reductions in performance bonuses for the most senior
positions.
Yet, at the same time, there is a continued increase in the benchmark for
certain positions—tech jobs such as disaster recovery coordinators, security
experts, and data specialists are seeing compensation spikes due to increased
concerns regarding enterprise security and data protection.
The Janco study also identifies a new compensation trend: Consolidation within
IT organizations is reducing the number of top-level tech positions, including
VPs, directors, and IT managers reporting to the CIO.
Janco Associates, Inc. is a management consulting firm focusing on IT and the
strategic application of information technology to gain competitive business
advantage. The company has published a biannual information technology
compensation survey for over 10 years.
