On this latest episode of ‘Tech Connects,’ we’re talking with Art Zeile, CEO of DHI Group, the parent company of Dice, about the latest Dice Tech Salary Report. Every year, we survey thousands of tech professionals for the Report’s breakdown of tech industry salary, benefits, and much more.
This is the 20th annual edition of the Tech Salary Report, and we’re taking this opportunity to analyze how tech compensation has evolved over the long term. Yes, overall tech salaries have risen steadily since 2005, reaching an average of $112,521 in 2024, but you need to take inflation into account: Today's average tech salary, when adjusted for purchasing power, is almost exactly what professionals earned in 2005 ($112,521 versus inflation-adjusted $112,350).
This suggests that, despite periodic surges, compensation in tech overall has effectively plateaued over nearly two decades. For those tech professionals who want to earn massive compensation, it’s critical to stay current on the tech industry’s latest developments, and to focus on learning the latest and most in-demand skills (in our current era, that includes cloud engineering and artificial intelligence). We’re going to break that down—along with so much more—in our chat with Art.
Art always has great insights into the tech industry. Here are some key takeaways from our chat:
