2017 IT Salary Survey


Jobs and compensastion picture improves for IT Professionals

IT Salary SurveyThere is a narrow gap between the average pay of senior executives, midlevel managers and even IT staff. Considering the salaries some hot skills are commanding, that's not surprising. Money isn't necessarily the make-or-break issue in whether a worker leaves a job. Improving relationships between worker and boss, and more closely aligning the worker with the agency mission can "balance or even trump" the limits on monetary compensation. Companies clearly can't ignore worker satisfaction with their salaries - not only those highly skilled IT workers, but also their bosses can surely make a statement with their feet.

The Janco Associates, Inc. salary survey draws on data collected throughout the year by extensive internet-based and completed survey forms sent to businesses throughout the United States and Canada.  Our database contains over 30,000 data points. 

The 160 page compensation study summarizes and compares data from 78 American metropolitan areas and 23 Canadian cities. Delivered in PDF format, it provides comparative information on more than 70 specific job titles:

  • Five distinct IT executive positions
  • Three director-level jobs
  • More than 15 specific manager roles
  • Dozens of technical staff positions

Salary Survey Methodology

Download Salary Survey

From the Janco Associates, Inc. datbase, compensation benchmark ranges are established for each normalized job position.  In analyzing the study data, the upper and lower quartiles are eliminated to determine  Benchmark Ranges.  The benchmark ranges are then used to assess the alignment of a company's actual compensation to the marketplace for each job function.  The results can be assessed using the following guidelines. 

Below Benchmark Range - Highly impacted by forces of the marketplace
Within Benchmark Range - Subject to the normal forces of the marketplace for similar job functions and responsibilities. 
Above Benchmark Range - Not subject to the forces of the marketplace

The Benchmark represents our assessment of the compensation level required for organizations to remain competitive and minimize the risk of losing employees to other organizations. 

Reviews were conducted from the standpoint of a comparison o base salary and, when appropriate, from the additional standpoint of total compensation.  Total compensation is determined by adding the budgetary bonus amounts and an equivalent cash value for above-standard compensation to an individual's base salary. 

The compensation Study data was divided into two categories.  Large companies are companies whose gross revenues are equal to or greater than $500MM.  Mid-sized companies are companies whose gross revenues are less than $500MM.
