Only the the top or specialised tier of IT have still sustained higher than average wages. Newer IT employees are not highly paid and would possibly have to take a further cut to take up the same position in another company. in the future. IT wages have been falling for the last 5 years - its only the huge sums available to a few that distort 'average' salary figures.
I do have a slight confession however -some employees are still carrying a 'weighting' on their salary from as far back as the 90s when employers payed over the odds to secure certain skills, me included Are these the people you are now targeting? Most of us havn't got much time left now - management are getting rid of us all now that we're replacable for less money. Bless 'em. That'll secure them a profit bonus for next year for sure and they don't even pause to consider that they are overpaid too.
