4 Tech Salary Trends in 2022 to Help You Negotiate for a Better Salary and Benefits Package

Nick Kolakowski, senior editor for Dice Insights, shares four big takeaways from the 2022 Dice Tech Salary Report - and how you can use these trends to negotiate a better salary and benefits package. 1. The average tech salary has increased to six figures - and is now $104,000! This is the highest ever recorded by our annual report - and is a sign that the high demand for technologists equals more money for you. 2. "Regular” benefits like healthcare and retirement remain popular - but technologists (like you) can request newer benefits like work-from-home stipends and options for child and elder care. 3. If you want to boost your salary - go for a merit increase! Employers are rewarding hard, innovative work with significant pay raises right now. 4. US cities outside of the main tech hubs - like Atlanta, Los Angeles, Portland and Chicago - saw a large increase in tech salaries.
