>>Note that below for example in the 21+ category the no-CRMs are ahead
in salary<<
I think there may be a couple of reasons for this. Part of it could be
that folks like me don't move as often. I know some CRM's that have
been in the same job since before dirt. The other could be their
market. Another group of CRM's I am familiar with don't have many
options without making a major relocation. Finally, comparisons based on
salary alone are somewhat misleading. There can be significant
differences in salary from different parts of the country.
For example, there is a position in Reno, NV on the ICRM career link.
The position prefers a CRM or CRM candidate. Median salary is $50000.
I used the salary calculator on Moving.com to find the following
comparisons of what the equivalent purchasing power would be at a number
of other locations where I have seen CRM positions posted recently:
- Chicago, IL $51,064
- Bismarck, ND $26,596
- San Ramon, CA $95,213
- Washington, DC $64,894
- Houston, TX $31,915
- Philadelphia, PA $44,149
- New York, NY $219,681
- Boise, ID $35,638
- Denver, CO $57,979
- Phoenix, AZ $37,234
- Los Angeles, CA $77,128
- San Francisco, CA $110,638
As you can see, value of compensation is highly influenced by location.
A couple of folks in the Midwest or in New York can really skew the
results.
The bottom line is this, a position in Bismarck, ND paying $60,533
annually will give you the same standard of living that a position in
NY, NY paying $500,000 will provide. Add a quality of life that is
unmatched anywhere and there is no comparison.
>>Send me any thoughts and observations you may have.<<
If you have time, I would like to see the survey normalize salaries
based on location. The results might be very interesting.
