The searchWinDevelopment.com salary survey is intended to provide comprehensive salary and bonus information for IT professionals who work with the Win Development. All registered users of searchWinDevelopment.com are eligible to take the survey. The survey is completely anonymous. While we use cookies to determine whether a visitor has already taken the survey, we cannot correlate member information to survey data in any way.

Each user may take the survey once during a six-month period. The results are aggregated and updated continuously. At the end of each six-month period, the survey is archived. Results of the most recently archived survey are displayed by default until the new survey has recorded more than 100 responses. You can see archived surveys by choosing the survey period from the drop-down boxes on the results selection pages.

Respondents must fill in all required fields in order for their responses to be counted. Standard deviations are calculated and used to eliminate extremely high or low salary figures. With the exception of location-specific data, the summary information is aggregated from all respondents regardless of geography. However, because of the low response totals from South America, Middle East and Pacific Rim, those results may be less statistically valid. To get an idea of how salaries compare in different parts of the world, view the regional breakdowns on the results page.

We provide a variety of preformatted reports, which are updated daily. In addition, you may create your own reports by visiting our custom reports section.

Job categories were selected to represent the most common IT functions. However, there are hundreds of job titles within IT and it was impossible to include each one. If we have left out an important job, please send let us know at editor@searchWinDevelopment.com .

A final disclaimer: this is an online survey and, as such, should not be considered scientifically valid. Use this information as one data point but be sure to visit other IT salary surveys on the Web. Other sites that publish this data include Infoworld, Informationweek, Network World, SANS Institute, Computerworld, Dice.com, Computerjobs.com and Nate Viall & Associates.
