Survey says storage salaries are climbing

This article is part of the Vol. 4 No. 9 November 2005 issue of Survey says storage salaries are climbing

Just when you thought you had it all figured out ... The game changes and there are new rules. It's like golf, where it's a game of inches and it turns out that all of your clubs are metric. The thing about protecting yourself is that you can never predict what's going to happen next. When Sept. 11 happened, we thought we saw the worst of humanity and the toll it took on our happy little world of IT. Thankfully, most of the organizations directly affected were able to failover exactly as planned. The problem was that they didn't think about some of the little things--like phones or a desk where people could use their phones. Some smaller shops found they could withstand a power outage; however, they forgot that without power, air conditioning doesn't work and without air conditioning computers melt down.

      The results for Storage's annual salary survey are in and storage professionals report salary growth. While the increases over last year are modest, they do represent the third straight year that our exclusive survey has shown an increase in storage salaries.
