Average Wage for IT Support Job

[Casdawer]

Afternoon all,

My manager has asked me to research online to find out how much someone should get paid doing the job that i do.

He believes that i am underpaid and wants me to research positions online so that he can tell his manager why he thinks we should get a pay-rise.

Does anyone know any sites that show an average wage for working in a certain role in the IT sector?

Thanks.

Private/Public sector?

Unsure of what IT Assistant means but I'm guessing day to day desktop support?? If so possibly 15-20k dependant on your experience etc.

"IT Support Job" is very ambiguous - that term could be used from a mouse changer and printer unjammer to infrastructure support to help desk phone answerer.

In my first job, as a AIW IT guy at a school, I left there earning 12k, my current job I earn 26k.

This is such a vague description.

What do you do day to day?

2 Rupees

About 22k (which is what i get)

Do you just reset passwords/swap pc's about/do the initial troubleshooting? If so 15-20k as suggested above.

If you are more into 2nd/3rd line/project stuff which I am then 20-30k depending on experience.

clicky

20k looks to be the average

Not outside London.

I'd say at least £20k.

It really does depend on employer, size of IT function, location etc but for a field support engineer (desktop/2nd line) then 20k is the ball park figure.

Start working '3rd' line and with server infrastructure and you should expect 25k + but again it really does depend on the who, what and where.

For example my role (IT PM) pays anything from 35k (which is a farce) up to ~70-80k in the 'city' - perm obviously, contract rates are considerably more at £250-500 per day.
