México 2007 IT Salaries survey
Some months ago I read a magazine that I would rather call Software Newbie due to the basic nature of its articles, it comes with some translated articles from some other sources but anyways I don’t recommend it much.
What was interesting, but not surprising, was the survey that they made last year on their website which gives some numbers related to salaries in the IT sector in México.
I’ll mention briefly few of the figures that were interesting to me. Depending on the type of job, the job functions that are better paid than “Development” are: Quality, Security, Consultant, Sales, Project Management, Architecture, and Directors (managers, I believe) at the top.
Salaries are also subject to age and degree of studies. This is obvious, right?
By programming language I’ll just mention that the best paid are those who do Cobol. In the Platform arena, the ones at the top are Mainframe, Unix and AS/400. Around databases the two at the top are DB2 and Informix as second place.
The last interesting figure is the one by certification. If you have a Project Management Institute certification then you’re at the top, then come IBM WebSphere, Security, SAP and IBM DB2.
