this website will give you a general guideline about the income for the IT industry
you can sort by Degree, by job scope, by certifications, by work experience
take note the number of IT professional certs and the type of IT certs you have will also directly affect your salary, especially if you are working in big IT companies like Microsoft, IBM, Mcfee, Norton, Cisco
and even banks like DBS, ANZ, Citibank etc
citing an example of my secondary school classmate: he graduated with Higher NITEC in IT, lucky to land a job as Junior IT technician with a private european bank about 7 yrs ago after he completed
NS.
starting pay was about $1.8K. Thru the yrs, he went for many IT certification courses, like UNIX, LINUX, MSCE etc went for Poly Diploma study, went for Bsc studies
and of course throughout the years he was promoted from junior to Senior to Supervisor and now IT manager and drawing a monthly pay of about $6K, excluding car, handphone etc.
