I’ve just filled in The ActiveTech Pros’ IT Salary benchmark. I all IT professionals do the same.

A few things that caught my eyes.

  1. “IT management”, (meaning managers. Read:PHB) has the highest average annual salary
  2. The regional’s ( Malaysia, Indonesian, HK, Thailand, India, Philipines, Singapore) Top Certification is CCNA. (Which is understandable, since most network engineers and/or servers operator job are very Certification oriented in selecting candidate) But in Malaysia the top Certification is MCP. Where did all this MIcrosoft love come from? I thought we are the pirate culture here in Malaysia.
  3. Our neighbour in singapore earn about the same amount as we do in Malaysia. Only in Sing Dollar. :(
  4. “Media, Marketing and Sales (Non-IT)” gets the highest average annual salary.

That’s the only thing I ca think off. I’m to depressed from finding out that I get less money than salesgirls and PHB alike.

Digg!
