Research SynopsisSurvey Name InformationWeek 2014 US IT Salary Survey: Insurance
Survey Date February 2014
Region United States
Number of Respondents 649 insurance IT professionals, consisting of 353 staff and 296 managers
Purpose To track IT salary and compensation trends from the perspective of those people on the front lines, InformationWeek conducts an annual US IT Salary Survey. Now in its 17th year, it’s the largest employee-based IT salary survey in the country. This year 11,662 full-time IT professionals completed the web-based survey. The goal of this trendable study is to measure various aspects of compensation, benefits, and job satisfaction. This report focuses specifically on the 649 insurance IT professionals who participated in the survey.
Methodology The survey was designed by InformationWeek and fielded online. The survey was promoted in InformationWeek’s daily and weekly newsletters. In addition, we sent email invitations with an embedded link to the survey to qualified IT professionals from UBM Tech databases. The survey was fielded from November 2013 to February 2014.
The information within this report is based on responses from 649 insurance IT professionals. We excluded unemployed and part-time workers from these results, as well as respondents from outside the US. This report uses median rather than mean or average figures for salary and percentage salary changes to eliminate distortions caused by extremes at the high and low ends of the responses.
