Average technology salaries in the U.S. saw the biggest year-over-year leap ever in 2015, up 7.7 percent to $96,370 annually, according to the annual salary survey by Dice. Bonuses and contract rates also rose from 2014, and tech salaries in seven metro areas reached six-figures for the first time since the survey began more than a decade ago.
The wage hikes paint a picture of an overall solid environment for technology professionals with 62 percent earning higher salaries in 2015.
