How does your salary stack up?

In the data center, as in many other industries, this past year was a year like no other. While the world was recovering from COVID-19 and its associated economic disruption, data center operators were still grappling with increased load on their services, the Great Resignation, and staff members needing or wanting to work from home – and employee compensation reflected that.

The good news is that data center workers largely seem satisfied with the salary increases and bonuses they received, and not many appear to be looking to their next job, at least for now. But an aging workforce and a lack of focus on updating skill sets could presage problems in the future. Our 2022 salary survey of data center professionals’ compensation, training, and job satisfaction found that data center workers value diversity initiatives alongside salary.
