I ran into a report showing that in the USA salaries in software development are on the rise comparing to 2001.

Hopefully this will increase enrollment in schools offering CS/IS majors. Based on my experience, the salaries are higher than four years ago, but consultant’s rates are lower than back then.

Is your salary/rate higher than four years ago? Let’s have a mini poll. Just add a comment to this post with something like this:

Java developer, full time +5%

or

Oracle DBA, consultant, -10%

Thanks,
