The IT Salary ‘Wave’: Skills, Salaries, and the Coming Reckoning
- bencollier49 13y agoWhat a misanalysis! Those "top skills" closely mirror the size of the departments which are hiring for them. Of course "service desk" is in demand, they need a lot of people. Am I going to rush out and brush up on my call handling skills? Nope, I don't want to work on the service desk right now. They could at least have looked at growth trends by area, rather than just size.
- mathattack 13y agoIt seems strange that they talk about 2.3% raises. 2.3% may be the mean, but it's probably not the median or mode. Very few people actually get 2.3% raises. The good people do a lot better. The less skilled folks get downsized, replaced with cheaper resources and forced to get pay cuts.
