Salaries
State of the Industry
The Information Technology Association
of America has conducted a study of the IT industry for the past couple
of years. Results have been published in May in past years. They reflect
on the state of the IT industry, what skills employers are looking for,
what jobs are most in demand, what employers think about training options,
and career pathways available to IT workers. We highly recommend that you
visit http://www.itaa.org/ to learn more about
the IT industry.
Another popular IT web site is http://www.brainbuzz.com/ which has
conducted various salary surveys. You'll find charts showing starting
salaries for various types of IT positions in the St. Louis area.
MCP Magazine's web site http://www.mcpmag.com/ provides salary
information about Microsoft certified IT workers.
The web site http://www.tcpmag.com/ reports
salaries for Cisco related jobs.
The most important criteria that
employers look at in hiring is experience. A college degree and/or
industry certifications follows in importance to most employers.
