67. Research Synopsis Survey Name InformationWeek 2014 US IT Salary Survey: Application Development Survey Date February 2014 Region United States Number of Respondents 2,315 application development and software engineering professionals, composed of 1,426 staffers and 889 managers with a job function of application development or a job title of QA/software test engineer/analyst, software engineer, or software developer Purpose To track IT salary and compensation trends from the perspective of those on the front lines, InformationWeek conducts an annual US IT Salary Survey. Now in its 17th year, it’s the largest employee-based IT salary survey in the country. This year, 11,662 full-time IT professionals completed the Web-based survey. The goal of this trendable study is to measure various aspects of compensation, benefits, and job satisfaction. This report focuses on the 2,315 application development and software engineering professionals who participated in the survey. Methodology The survey was designed by InformationWeek and fielded online. The survey was promoted in InformationWeek’s daily and weekly newsletters. In addition, email invitations with an embedded link to the survey were sent to qualified IT professionals from UBM Tech databases. The survey was fielded from November 2013 to February 2014. The information within this report is based on responses from 2,315 application development and software engineering professionals. Unemployed and part-time workers were excluded from these results, as were respondents from outside the United States. This report uses median rather than mean or average figures for salary and percentage salary changes to eliminate distortions caused by extremes at the high and low ends of the responses. Want more?
