Report: Salaries on the rise for mobile developers (and most of IT)

[Renew Deal]

Good news for IT pros who've seen their weekly salaries languish or even shrink over the past couple of years: Hiring companies are loosening the purse strings. Not everyone is going to see a paycheck bump, but the spoils of economic recovery, an overflow of venture capital dollars, and overall pent-up IT demand will translate to bigger bucks, especially for application developers and network admins.

In-demand jobs for 2011 and their anticipated average salary ranges (in the areas Bluewolf covers, anyway) are as follows:
■Flash developers: $80,000 to $100,000
■Flex developers: $85,000 to $110,000
■PHP/LAMP developers: $75,000 to $110,000
■Ruby on Rails developers: $85,000 to $110,000
■CRM Developers: $90,000 to $120,000
■iPad developers: $98,000 to $120,000
■iPhone developers: $94,000 to $115,000
■Android developers: $97,000 to $120,000

Coders aren't the only IT professionals poised to reap higher rewards for their skills. According to the report, positions like systems analyst (estimated salary range is $60,000 to $100,000), applications architect ($90,000 to $120,000), junior business analyst ($50,000 to $85,000), and developer/programmer analyst ($70,000 to $105,000) are likeliest to earn more moolah this year.

Networking staffers are also in line for a salary boost this year, according to Bluewolf, which will put their salaries back to pre-recession levels. Network admins will see average salaries rise to the $60,000 to $90,000 range, network managers are looking at a range between $80,000 and $100,000, and network engineers' salaries will surge to the $65,000 to $90,000 spectrum.

As for high-level IT professionals, vice presidents of IT will see salaries jump 7.1 percent in 2011, with a range of $120,000 to $155,000. C-level IT executives, meanwhile, enjoyed a similar hike in 2010, according to Bluewolf, but can expect a flat change this year.
