According to the 2009 SearchCIO-Midmarket.com survey, more than 55% of the 410 respondents are expecting a pay increase in 2010, compared with 32% in 2009. And only 11% are expecting a pay cut or furlough, down from 25% last year. Overall, the positive outlook is in tune with high IT morale, as 47% reported having an optimistic staff and work environment in 2009.
Which industry is expecting the highest pay increase? Almost all respondents from the IT-related services sector -- 91% -- are anticipating raises, which average out to about 7.5%. On the other hand, only 32% of state and local government respondents are anticipating a pay increase (of an average 5.2%) and 14% are still expecting a pay cut this year.
The tables below show the responses by title and industry for base IT salaries and total compensation, as well as expected pay increases for 2010. Breaking out the data by industry and company size resulted in low sample sizes, so the information is less statistically valid and more of an anecdotal glimpse into what your midmarket IT peers make.
