Salaries and confidence rise for U.S. tech professionals Tech powered companies on edge as compensation satisfaction slips More technology professionals in the U.S. enjoyed merit raises over the last year, driving average salaries up in 2013. Average U.S. tech salaries increased nearly three percent to 87,811 in 2013, up from 85,619 the previous year. Technology professionals understand they can easily find ways to grow their career in 2014, with twothirds of respondents (65%) confident in finding a new, better position. That overwhelming confidence matched with declining salary satisfaction (54%, down from 57%) will keep tech-powered companies on edge about their retention strategies. Employers are using selective and strategic increases in compensation to hold onto experienced tech talent. While the overall average salary increase was smaller than the previous year’s historic jump of more than five percent, employers offered more frequent merit increases. Increasingly Competitive Market for Tech Pros Boosts Merit Pay Increases For those technology professionals whose salary increased in 2013, 45 percent say the increase was sparked by a merit raise, compared to 40 percent the previous year. Salary increases were more likely for tech professionals early in their career or with one to five years of experience, while bonuses are being used for more experienced tech professionals.

Thirty-four percent of respondents received a bonus as part of their 2013 compensation, with average bonuses totaling 9,323. With the tech unemployment rate low, technology professionals know they can take control of their careers. REASONS FOR Salary Increase Internal promotion Mandated company-wide increase 12% 26% Changed employers 11% 6% Other 45% Merit raise — Shravan Goli, President of Dice Tech professionals are recognizing employers’ efforts, with just 34 percent of respondents saying their company offered no motivators last year, down from 47 percent who felt that way in 2009. Likewise, the motivator with the most dramatic rise over that timeframe: increased compensation. “With the tech unemployment rate low, technology professionals know they can take control of their careers,” said Shravan Goli, President of Dice. “Tech hiring managers tell me they are stretching budgets where they can to keep their technology work forces focused and satisfied.” Bonuses Did You Receive a Bonus?

The notable exception in the top markets is number two: Baltimore/Washington, D.C. whose average salary of 97,588 was essentially unchanged yearover-year. Salaries in and around the nation’s capital are boosted by the aerospace and defense industry whose average technology salaries rank secondhighest among industries. Changing Employers Of tech pros that anticipate changing employers, here’s why. Salary milestones were captured in Atlanta and Charlotte, joining Philadelphia and Austin with average salaries for tech professionals above 90,000 for the first time. 68% Big Data Dominates Top Paying Skills 77,550 Higher Compensation AVG.

Dice Salary Survey Methodology The 2013 Dice Salary Survey was administered online, with 17,236 employed technology professionals responding between October 14, 2013 and November 29, 2013. Respondents were invited to participate in the survey through a notification on the Dice site and registered technology professionals were sent an email invitation. A cookie methodology was used to ensure that there was no duplication of responses between or within the various sample groups and duplicate responses from a single email address were removed. The Dice Salary Survey was adjusted for inflation in 2013: technology professionals earning salaries of 250,000 and above were not automatically eliminated from the survey if they met other criteria.
