Thought some people might be interested in this local salary survey. Did anyone catch the Washington Post's article in the Business section of today's paper? It's got an survey of what local DC Techies are making. A Pay Check By Peter Behr Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, December 10, 1998; Page B06 Ever look around at the other office grunts and wonder who's getting paid what? Well, washingtonpost.com has started a local Technology Salary Index to help answer that question. More than 7,450 Washington area tech workers have taken the ongoing, interactive salary survey that was used to create the index. The average salary for a dozen key tech occupations rose 3.8 percent during the past six months, the survey found. TECHNOLOGY JOB MEDIAN SALARY Systems engineer $68,900 Client server administrator $64,000 Software engineer $61,900 Database administrator $60,000 Network analyst $55,000 Program analyst $55,000 Web programmer $52,000 LAN administrator $50,000 Systems administrator $50,000 Systems operator-analyst $48,000 Multimedia designer $40,000 Technical support $40,000 The large number of respondents lends credence to its findings, which are in line with other, similar tech wage surveys, said washingtonpost.com database editor Hal Straus. Like all such voluntary surveys, however, the washingtonpost.com index relies on the accuracy of information submitted by employees about themselves. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/washtech/techcareers/salary/salaryintro .htm
