I suggest take this with a fairly large pinch of salt We still have a global recession and high international unemployment. Those looking to change jobs will tend to exaggerate their salary to a search provider. When you look at average salaries on offer vs those expected the difference is typically half. In the USA over the last 10 years IT salaries on average have risen less than 5% in total. As salaries go up so do consulting rates,which leads to less sales, and the competition for the available posts, so wishful thinking is not enough. A recruitment company has a vested interest in consultants wanting to change jobs, and suggesting higher salaries are on offer is a way to encourage that - if you ask the right questions in the right way, then you may get the answers you want. Those who lost their jobs in the last twe years might consider job security more important than job hopping.

My biggest issue with my VAR was the lack of increases in my salary. Over 5 years I received $3,500 in salary increases. He stated that I could make up for that with my bonus which was based on billable hours. My base was $83,500 and bonus was usually 14K-18K for the year. I was being offered jobs for $ 95- 105K with bonus of 10% and less hours. Guess what bye, bye VAR. I was always either 1 or 2 in the top billers in my office. And I went with a company that is growing. I no longer work 60-70 hour weeks for which I billed $225-250K a year for the VAR as well as creating lots of billable work for other employees. I was told by my VAR that maybe I could get that in the old econcomy but now now. Within 3 months I had a new job. If you are good, you are going to find a new job and when you do the VAR is going to be the one to suffer with clients not getting the support they had or the skill level. So, take the wake up call and make sure you are paying your employees or the good ones are going to be gone. I was told "not everyone bills like you do". Well now now one is billing like I did.
