Average technology salaries in the U.S. saw the biggest year-over-year leap ever, jumping 7.7 percent to $96,370 annually, according to theannual 2015-2016 salary surveyby careers siteDice.com。自2015年，奖金和合同汇率也在2015年增加，7个地铁地区的技术薪水是自调查开始超过十年前的第一次达到六个数据。问题是，他们可以走高吗？
The wage hikes paint a picture of an overall solid environment for technology professionals with 62 percent earning higher salaries in 2015 than they did in 2014, according to the Dice.com survey, conducted from October 6, 2015 to November 25, 2015 with 16,301 full-time IT employees responding. Almost half of respondents reported a salary increase as a result of a promotion or raise at the same company, with 38 percent receiving a merit-based increase and 10 percent receiving an internal promotion. The second most common reason for a rise in salary was a result of changing employers (23 percent).
"This speaks directly to the skills gap problem; competition for IT talent today is undeniable. Demand for skilled talent and low unemployment rates for tech professionals aren't making the hiring landscape any easier. CIOs are realizing that they have to offer competitive pay, and also offer benefits other than salary, but there's a lot of pressure -- no matter what they do, it's increasingly hard to find talent with the right skills," Bob Melk, president of Dice (and formerly the vice president and publisher of CIO).

Pay to play
While in the short-term, it seems pay increases are helping to retain IT talent and keep them satisfied, this approach can't succeed forever. The Dice.com survey revealed that 53 percent of respondents are currently satisfied with their pay, compared to 52 percent in 2014. But the flip side of that coin is that tech professionals' confidence in new job prospects remained high, with 67 percent claiming that they could find a favorable new position. More than a third, 39 percent, intend to change employers in the upcoming year.
"Our survey shows many tech pros seem to be satisfied with their salaries, but that still leaves a portion of tech pros who are less satisfied with their compensation. CIOs should be concerned that their valuable talent will continue to ask for more money or find new jobs -- the opportunities await," says Melk.

More than money
这意味着CIO应该看看其他方法来保持他们的人才从事和富有成效，或者将他们失去竞争对手的风险。IT人才战中的一个主要问题是，许多最多的需求技能对市场来说是新的，因此，梅尔克说，人才是稀缺的。
"What CIOs need to be thinking about is twofold. One, talent with skills like big data, security, cloud and the like are so hard to find because the skills are so new to the market. Two, these are emerging trends, so CIOs should consider how to do 'skills matching' and 'skills development' to take advantage of the talent they already have and help grow them from within to meet business needs," Melk says.
确定继任计划并强调持续的技能发展是关键，但它是CIO需要继续练习建立内部IT团队的东西。“例如，如果您有一组伟大的网络管理员，则可以开始查看这些人需要的额外技能，例如，网络安全专业人士。也许您有一支摇滚明星软件开发人员，您可以指出梅尔克说，成为数据科学家的方向。
此外，他补充说，修饰初级和入门级人才，为填补这些技能的需求的角色也可以提供帮助，特别是在加入工资时增加。根据Dice.com调查，奖金是IT公司正在使用的IT公司用于认识和奖励他们的才能。

根据Dice.com调查，2015年的平均奖金是2014年的10,194美元，从2014年增加了7％。2015年，37％的技术专业人士收到了去年的奖金，不变;但是当24％报告时，他们赚取了额外的支付时高于2009年。与经验不到两年经验的技术专业人员相比，经验丰富的技术专业人士更有可能获得奖金。然而，较新的技术专利仍然看到他们的薪水升起。
Average salary increases were greatest among new technology workers with one to two years of experience, suggesting that there is wage pressure for entry-level technology jobs, and also that employers are willing to pay for fresh talent and pay to retain them.
"What's promising is the tech industry recognizes the need to fill open seats as well as to reward tech talent for their hard work. How much higher can IT salaries go before it becomes unsustainable, or stops "working" to attract and retain? That is an impossible question to answer. CIOs have to keep looking for every possible way they can incentivize their talent," Melk says.
