Except for certain positions such as Chief Information Officer, Systems Analyst, and Network Administrator, most other computer-related positions showed slight to moderate pay increases compared to last year, according to HEC’s 2010 Information Technology Pay Rate Survey.

Bonus payments, however, were up for the CIO, Systems Analyst, and Network Administrator compared to last year.

PC Technician pay, on the other hand, was up by 1.1 percent compared to last year, but overall down by 4.9 percent compared to 2005. Systems Analyst pay was down 3.6 percent since 2009, but overall up by 10.8 percent since 2005, and Network Administrator pay was down 0.9 percent since 2009, but overall up by 7.7 percent since 2005.
