Let’s face it, not many people go to work everyday just for fun- they do it for the paycheck. But how do you know that you are getting paid what you’re worth? How do you know if your services are worth more somewhere else in the country or even the world? How do you know what methods, training, and certifications are necessary to maintain a competitive position in your industry? ASPE’s annual salary survey will give you all the answers you are looking for.
The second annual Business Analyst Salary Survey for 2010, hosted by ASPE, Inc. in partnership with Ravenflow and the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®) is open NOW through September 10th at http://2010-BA-Salary-Survey.questionpro.com. This is the first time we are extending our survey to all business analysts globally so the results of this survey will examine compensation of business analysts as it relates to education, experience, location, company size, certifications and related factors worldwide! Participate in this brief 5-10 minute survey and see where you stack up with other BAs around the world.
“Last year, more than 2,500 business analysts from the U.S. and Canada participated in the survey,” said David Mantica, president of ASPE. “This established a great baseline for the industry. Our goal is to have even more respondents this year, so we can better identify developing trends, career patterns and training needs.”
The 2009 survey revealed that business analysts had an average salary of $71,000 – $80,000 annually. However, many analysts expressed concerns that the economic climate would have a negative impact on future compensation. The 2010 survey should reveal whether those fears were grounded.
“When we broadcast the 2009 Salary Survey results, it was one of the year’s best attended webinars,” said Susan Boers, president and CEO of Ravenflow. “I am pleased that Ravenflow not only provides business analysts with solutions that improve their day-to-day jobs, but also facilitates delivery of important information that will assist them in career development.”
“The IIBA was keen to be involved this year. Salary information is a critical part of the value we provide to the business analyst community,” said Kathleen Barret, CEO of the IIBA. “As an organization, we are dedicated to helping our members develop and succeed. We believe this survey will increase awareness of what we do on a global basis.”
At the end of the event, participants will have an option to receive the results of the survey directly via email. You only have until September 10th, so visit http://2010-BA-Salary-Survey.questionpro.com NOW to participate in this very important survey event. Answers will be anonymous and used only in an aggregate analysis.
