ComputerWorld has posted an interactive Smart Salary Tool that lets you know how much you are underpaid compared to people you’ve never met. :D

Eighty-four percent of respondents were men, 91% were employed full time, and 46% said a bachelor's degree was their highest level of education. Respondents had an average of 17 years in IT, and their average age was 45. Forty-nine percent indicated that they had some level of computer certification.

Now I can show my boss what I've been saying all along - I need a raise :D
 
Wow..Apparently I am underpaid to the tune of 20k. ouch. Fat chance of me getting a greater then 3% increase this year too...
 
-21000 for me as a technician :( but I do get extra money on the side for housing and food which brings it to 8000. Plus I get great benifits with the military.
 
I'm actually paid almost exactly what this tool says for my job title, region, and years of experience.
 
haha, the site crashed on me twice in the middle of the survey.

Im 15K underpaid, no bonuses, and my company does 3% raises per year.
 
Holy hell am I underpaid... Fuck this region and the dinosaurs that run it.....
 
about $1000 underpaid... I can live with that at the moment lol
 
region, nationally its about $7~8k underpaid... meh
 
Lined up pretty close. These numbers were for last year and I make about 5K more than they projected so I guess I can't complain.
 
So as a consultant, if I get paid a quarterly utilization bonus, a heavy one, how does that figure into these things? It's similar to a commission.
 
I am right on par with my Programmer/Analyst rank, unfortunately I have the Senior title, which is "supposed" to mean more $$$.
.. just happy to be employed.
 
im about 4k shy of the US average, and im in canada. pretty close i guess, cant really complain.
 
Not counting bonuses and expense compensation, I sit in the +/- 2% group. Honestly I would be/am happy to have a job period.
 
South Central region and not even close to $50,000 a year for Helpdesk Specialist.

Pretty damn sad.... :(
 
Worked my way up to SysAdmin in 3 years with no formal training (and still no certs). Falling $17,000 under the average for my region.

Translation: I'm getting beans.
 
making half as well as a helpdesk technician with a degree in computer science.... i knew i shoulda went to those career fairs last year....
 
I am not in IT but other sites say I am under paid by $5k/yr, yea figures.
 
wonder if this figures government jobs along with the private sector?

if it figures both, then I'm about $30k short on the regional avg, but only 7k short of national avg
 
remember its an average with a HUGE spread. 0 to 10 years??

seems like a BS site to me. It doesn't tell you shit about where you should be.
 
wow it says I should be making 89,000 a year. about 30K more than what I make
 
hahaha. I have had the title of CIO for about ten years . Looks like I'm underpaid by $125,000!!! Damn public schools

+1 on first part, still better then 90% of population around here :D

Expecting a nice raise this year.
 
I'm about 55K underpaid right now. Damned economy...

I've never made as much as the calculator in my region says either. Came within 7K of it last year though.
 
I KNOW I'm underpaid by ~20k from ppl that I know who work in the same field, yet this program says that I'm actually about nation's average. Hmm.
