Contributing Factors to Salary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Salaries range from $35,463 for an entry\u00adlevel web designer to $162,323 for an experienced I.T. manager. How much you can expect to earn in this field will depend on a variety of factors such as location and how much experience you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional factors to affect salary include things such as the exact functions required for the company or clients, the type of experience you have, as well as the size of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infographic also shows which relevant skills can help to increase your salary. Having experience using high demand tools and technologies can result in earning more money; This includes web design skills for a user interface designer, HTML and CSS for a PHP web developer and Linux and .NET for a web developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also see the ratio of males to females for different jobs, most of which are still dominated by men. Previous research has shown that lack of flexibility, long hours and unconscious bias from already male\u00ad dominated teams are all contributing factors to the lack of females being driven to these roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
