IT Worker Salaries Slide Down

A research from online recuitment firm Experteer revealed that salaries of IT workers have abated by four percent, contrary to that of senior executives.     
 

Employees in the public sector, consulting and financial services are earning an average of £74,000 over the past six months, a significant increase despite the financial crunch.  Meanwhile, IT support staff have been getting less because of the declining number of jobs in the IT industry. 

 

Experteer's research further showed that IT specialists suffered most, rating only an average salary of £62,000.  Even IT managers have been receiving thinner paycheck, rating  £77,000 from an average of £80,000. IT executives were not spared, seeing their wages drop from £119,000 to £115,000.

 

Experteer explained, “Ambitious IT executives facing a fall in reward for their next step on the career ladder should consider whether their experience might be relevant to other industries in which salaries continue to rise, such as consulting and financial services."
