Some of the more notable data points have already been reported in the aforementioned Winter Edition. (If you aren’t already a print or digital subscriber, then you can go here to subscribe, or just grab a digital copy, or an ink-and-paper single.) We’ll be bringing you all of that and more as 2017 marches forward: Over the next few months, articles with new survey data will be featured each week here at. How about a round of applause for the 6,116 certified IT professionals who pitched in over the course of roughly seven weeks at the end of 2016 to get us here? Each of those hardy souls contributed some 20 or 30 minutes of their time and 70-ish questions’ worth of their personal data to help us create a picture of the IT salary landscape in the United States and elsewhere (81 other nations) around the globe. So that makes now an ideal time for a good pot-stirring conversation about money, right? Now that the Winter Edition of Certification Magazine is spread across the laps of faithful subscribers (or about to pop through on their personal media device of choice), it’s time to start unpacking the results of our annual Salary Survey. January is just kind of there, taking up space on the calendar. In February, you’ve got the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, and the Oscars, which means that you practically can’t swing your arms without smacking a party.
Just a few days ago, it was the most wonderful time of the year, and now the whole world is just sort of hanging out and wondering whether it’s ever going to stop snowing.
Here we are again, stuck between Christmas and February.
