PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SALARY DATA 2013 U.S. IT Salary Survey Salaries are rising slightly, with median compensation for IT staff at $90,000 and for managers at $120,000. Here are 11 key insights that IT pros should take from the findings from our 14,000 survey respondents. 2013 Salary Survey: Executives Executive compensation is a contentious topic in IT, but as it turns out, having their opinions valued, helping set company strategy and doing challenging work are what really matter to executives. 2013 Salary Survey: Security At the RSA Conference in February, Department of Homeland Security deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity Mark Weatherford stressed the need to develop more cybersecurity talent in the U. S. Good IT security professionals are in high demand, he told attendees. "What's the unemployment rate for a good cybersecurity person? Zero," Weatherford said, adding that government agencies and the private sector are stealing the best people from each other. "We are all familiar with the fratricide going on." 2013 SMB IT Salary Survey IT staff and management in small and midsize businesses take home about 13% less than their colleagues in larger companies, but the intangibles of working in a smaller organization make it easier to swallow. 2013 Salary Survey: Higher Ed Salaries for IT pros in higher education have been stuck in neutral for some time, rising just 1.4% for managers and remaining flat for staff this year. But workers get satisfaction from job perks such as flexibility and time off. 2013 Salary Survey: Insurance Salaries are up slightly — 1.6% for staff and 2.4% for managers — while job security appears strong and satisfaction levels are high, with 66% of staff and 73% of managers saying they're satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs.
