RSS feedsIT professionals are expecting a 4.5 per cent pay rise this year, compared with only 3.3 per cent in 2007, according to a survey by recruitment group Computer People.
And the average bonus in the sector last year was £5,015 and the average permanent salary is £35,160.
But the outlook isn't so bright for employers who are losing money due to lack of loyalty from staff.
