IT Salary Survey

Salaries by Specialty
In today's IT industry, all signs seem to point to specialization. That shouldn't come as a big surprise: As information technology evolves and grows more complex, it becomes much more difficult for any one person to master all or even most of its many aspects. Thus, over time, IT has more or less organically partitioned itself into a variety of interconnected niches. Many of the individuals who occupy job roles in these specialized disciplines are more important to their employers—and better compensated by them, too—than ever before.

It's against this backdrop that CertMag's 2005 Salary Survey ranked salaries by specialization. Many of the top job roles from last year are back, but there have been a few significant changes. Most notably, information security, which placed fourth last year, vaulted to the top of the heap in 2005. Its practitioners reported that they earn nearly $93,000 a year, compared to $78,910 in 2004. That's a jump of nearly 15 percent in a single year. (Evidently, all the buzz around security is much more than just hype.)

Professionals in the former number-one specialty—system design—shouldn't be too upset, though. While their occupation dropped to fifth on this list, their average annual income grew by more than $2,000. Information storage has held fast in its spot in second place for two straight years, and has seen its salary average swell by almost $6,000. Likewise, network design has stayed at third through both years, yet seen actual income increase by nearly $5,000. Project management, a rapidly rising area of IT, crept up only two spots on this ranking, but its earnings power was boosted by almost $8,000.

As for where survey respondents are working, a few predictable IT-centric sectors were near the top. However, those polled were spread out fairly evenly in this regard, providing a solid cross-section for the study: Only one industry—computer and network consulting—held more than 10 percent of those who participated. Finance, banking and accounting; education; and government at the local, state and federal levels were among the top non-IT sectors in the survey. The relatively level distribution of these professionals across a broad spectrum of industries demonstrates how organizations of all kinds rely heavily on IT. It also shows that when it comes to employment opportunities, IT pros have few limitations.
