according to Dice is:
IT management | 112,000 |
Software engineer | 89,000 |
I believe the average marketing salary is a bit lower.
Sales is really where the money is at, I'm pretty sure any good rep in my company make well over a million a year. Just think about it, approx. 10% commission, a large enterprise deal is easily over 10 million. You just need one deal to make that much.
