In 2010, plenty of respondents report that they're paying more for some benefits, like healthcare, than in 2009. Nearly 30% saw their benefits reduced in 2010, and 57% said they remained unchanged; however, 12.6% were lucky enough to see benefits improve. So how much do benefits matter?

Experience, diplomas pay off
Having a dedicated storage group is one way that many organizations formally recognize the importance of storage, and our annual survey showed that dedicated storage groups were in place at 60.7% of companies with more than $10 billion in revenue. That figure dropped to a little more than 51% at firms with between $1.1 billion and $10 billion in revenue.
In general, we found that salaries among our survey respondents rose according to company revenue. At the top end of the scale, data storage professionals working at companies with revenue greater than $10 billion earned an average of $133,509, while firms with revenue lower than $100 million paid their storage pros an average of just under $75,000.
