Do the Job Titles reflect the positions and skills in demand?
The Competitive Position® Salary Survey Reports are based on want ads listed in publicly available sources such as newspapers and internet newsgroups. Surveyed want ads list a location, qualifications within the IT profession, a salary offer and an experience requirement. The Job Titles are developed empirically, from the want ad data itself. A Job Title is formed when a set of qualifications is required in a significant number of want ads. The Job Titles are an indication of the positions and the associated hardware/software skills in demand. Due to differences in demand, some of the Job Titles have more specific qualifications than others. FAQ: Return to the place of this question on the list of Frequently Asked Questions.
