2013 Information Technology Salary Guide
MESSAGEMessage from our CEO
Welcome to our 2013 Salary Guide. We are proud to provide the latest in salary information for each of the disciplines we cover in the United States. Whether you are a company coming into the market for talent this year or a current employee looking to see what the market will bear for a specific position, our Salary Guides will provide an extensive range of accurate and detailed salary information within your industry.
Our over arching outlook for 2013 is that the economy will stabilize and continue to grow. Having said this, we still think there is a lot of opportunity for firms to continue to search among a great pool of never before seen levels of talent that are available due to the continuing tighter labor markets. However, as unemployment slowly improves, we believe this opportunity will not last forever. Already we are starting to see a tightening of the labor force for highly specialized positions. This return for the war on talent will be a definite theme as the year wears on. 2013 still presents a significant opportunity for firms to upgrade their work-force. The time is right for firms to take the steps necessary to set themselves up for growth once the economy starts to hit its stride. Companies that understand this incredible opportunity and seize it to make their firms better will win in the long run.
Michael Page continues to be the worldwide leader in specialist recruitment and this unique position allows us to continue to offer you the most accurate and compelling information on the global and local employment market. The strength of our brand in the marketplace and our relationships with all management levels has allowed us to offer you accurate and detailed salary information. With 164 offices in 34 countries and over 5,500 employees worldwide, we continue to be the largest and most important recruitment firm in the world. We are excited about exceeding your expectations of the recruitment industry and looking forward to working with you in 2013.
As always, please feel free to contact us at any time.
Yours truly,
Richard Vickers

2013 Information Technology Salary Guide
Market Overview 2013MARKETIn the first half of 2011 we witnessed Technology Recruitment charge ahead in hiring within the Banking & Financial Services space. Development, Application Support, Business Analysis, Project/Program Management, and Infrastructure professionals benefited from project demand across the investment banks as well as banking related software development firms. Technologists in this sector will continue to see steady hiring opportunities across the vertical starting 2013, albeit they will feel a gradual slow down as Q4 continues. These positions are projected to have the largest increase in total compensation with an average gain of 4.5 percent from the previous year, adding to the bullish outlook in tech hiring. “When we look at the top skill sets for technologies, as you would expect, generally it comes down to Java,” says Constance Melrose, Managing Director, eFinancialcareers North America. “In financial services, however, the C languages -- C, C++ and C# -- are in most demand. [They] allow you to handle large, real-time data flows for high-frequency trading and risk management.” Along with C language developers, professionals in Infrastructure, Security and Control Units (risk, finance, valuations, compliance and operations) have had a large investment to improve systems to better handle the new regulations and will continue to do so through 2013.

2013 Information Technology Salary Guide
INTERIMWith economic uncertainty we have seen a huge increase in the need for contingent labor at all levels of business. The market for contract and interim help is on the uptick as companies remain cautious. Many businesses have decided to work with contingent professionals while evaluating their long term hiring needs for the future.
We have noticed lengthier hiring cycles across all businesses which has been another reason why companies have looked to contingent professionals for assistance. In addition, we have seen many companies that simply dont have the green light to hire and need assistance during critical or peak periods of business, and require specialized or niche skill sets. They have benefited greatly from hiring on contingent staff. Many companies have been utilizing interim or contract professionals to meet business needs and monitor costs without overhiring.
