Are you paid what you’re worth?
Results from our TechTarget 2013 annual salary and careers survey, which looked at IT security professionals and IT personnel who spend their time on security, shows that total compensation (salaries, bonuses and commissions) is holding steady. More than half of those surveyed reported raises in 2013, and close to one-third received bonuses.
More than half of the IT security respondents (51 percent) had been in their current jobs for 1 to 5 years; 22 percent had been in their positions 6 to 10 years, while 10 percent had served for 11 to 20 years. A significant number of those surveyed (16 percent) had worked in their current positions for less than one year. Of that group, one-quarter said they recently changed jobs because they wanted a new challenge, and a smaller number (14 percent) said they wanted more money.
