This year\u2019s survey also collected data on the number of servers and employees at respondents\u2019 organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Since most respondents are based in the United States, Europe, or Asia \u2013 approximately 50% in the United States alone \u2013 much of the salary analysis is focused on these regions.<\/p>\n<h2>Key findings from the report<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>IT practitioners earn more in the United States, Australia\/New Zealand and Canada. The most common salary range in the United States is US$100,000 &#8211; US$125,000, and in the Australia\/New Zealand region and Canada it\u2019s US$75,000 &#8211; US$100,000.<\/li>\n<li>Salaries for IT practitioners in the United States jumped up this year. The most common salary range moved from US$75,000-US$100,000 in 2015 to US$100,000-US$125,000 in 2016, and the percentage earning more than US$100,000 increased from 47% to 58%.<\/li>\n<li>Sysadmins aren\u2019t making as much as their practitioner peers. The most common salary range for sysadmins in the United States is US$75,000 &#8211; US$100,000 and 34% earn more than US$100,000, while the four other most common IT practitioner job titles are most likely to make US$100,000 &#8211; US$125,000 and over half earn more than US$100,000.<\/li>\n<li>IT practitioners earn more at organisations with more servers. The most common salary range at organisations with more than 5,000 servers is US$100,000 &#8211; US$125,000, while it\u2019s US$75,000 &#8211; US$100,000 at organisations with fewer than 5,000.<\/li>\n<li>Manager salaries are almost off the chart. The percentage of DevOps managers in the US earning more than US$150,000 jumped from 26% in 2015 to 43% this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>DevOps &#8211; IT practitioner salaries by gender<\/h2>\n<p>More than 99% of the 2016 survey\u2019s practitioners reported their gender, up 1% from 2015\u2019s initial gender survey. More than 94% of them identified as male, down from 95% in 2015, and a fraction of 1% selected \u201cOther.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because of the small sample sizes beyond men (out of 2,808 practitioners globally and 1,358 in the United States, 156 and 101 identified as women), the survey cannot confidently compare salaries by gender in detail.<\/p>\n<p>The data shows that 95% of practitioners in the United States \u2013 both male and female \u2013 made US$50,000 or more per year. There were no gender lines in the practitioner group\u2019s jump from the US$75,000 &#8211; US$100,000 salary band to the US$100,000 &#8211; US$125,000 band.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Edited from press release by <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/115822809293912579733\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Cecilia Rehn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, more than 4600 technology professionals from around the world took the fifth annual State of DevOps survey, presented by Puppet and DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA).
