    By the Numbers: Comparing Tech Employee Salary, Age, Stress and More

    PayScale

    http://www.payscale.com/data-packages/top-tech-companies-compared/tech-salaries

    Methodology

    Overview

    Using PayScale.com‘s compensation database, PayScale examined the characteristics of the following large/well-known tech companies: Adobe Systems Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., eBay Inc., Facebook, Inc., Google, Hewlett-Packard Company, International Business Machines (IBM) Corp., Intel Corp., LinkedIn Corp., Microsoft Corp., Oracle Corp., Qualcomm Inc., Salesforce.com, Inc., Samsung Group, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) Corp., and Tesla Motors, Inc. Data was obtained from 33,500 workers in the tech industry (non-retail or sales) who took the PayScale Salary Survey in the last two years. These characteristics include:

    1. Job Details: typical pay, typical tenure at the company and typical years of experience within a career/field.
    2. Demographics: typical age and gender breakdown.
    3. Job Soft Features: shares of employees reporting high job satisfaction, high job meaning and high job stress.
    4. In examining the characteristics of these companies, we eliminated retail and sales workers from the sample. Some of the large tech companies examined have a large retail presence (e.g., Apple, Microsoft, etc.). For this reason, we eliminated retail workers and retail and sales managers from our sample to keep the data focused on the corporate employees.
    5. Notes:
    1. We did not further limit the sample to just IT workers, and included all workers from software developers to financial analysts to marketing assistants, as it takes more than IT to make a business run.
    2. Data for Hewlett-Packard employees was obtained prior to Hewlett-Packard’s split into two separate companies.

    Definitions

    Total Cash Compensation (TCC): TCC combines base annual salary or hourly wage, bonuses, profit sharing, tips, commissions, and other forms of cash earnings, as applicable. It does not include equity (stock) compensation, cash value of retirement benefits, or value of other non-cash benefits (e.g., healthcare).

    Early Career Median Pay: This is the median pay for workers with 0 to 5 years of experience.

    Mid-Career Median Pay: This is the median pay for workers with 10 or more years of experience.

    Years of Experience: These are the number of years the respondent has spent in their field/career. The years of experience will incorporate all applicable jobs in the field, not just the current job. The average years of experience across all full-time (non-retail) jobs at all employers referenced in this report is 6 years.

    Years with Company: These are the number of years the respondent has worked for their current employer. The average number of years with a company across all full-time (non-retail) jobs at all employers referenced in this report is 4 years.

    Median Age: This is the median age of full-time, non-retail workers who work at the given company. The national median age for all full-time (non-retail) workers is 37.

    Percentage of Male/Female Workers: This is the percentage of workers within a company that report their gender to be male or female. When available, we used data self-reported by each company. If that data was not publicly available, we used data based on the sample used to calculate other figures in this report from employees who have taken the PayScale survey. The average percentage of female workers across all full-time (non-retail) jobs and all employers (not limited to tech) is 51 percent.
    Notes:

    1. IBM: Did not report
    2. Tesla: Did not report
    3. SpaceX: Did not report
    4. Amazon: Amazon’s publicly reported diversity statistics (39% female; 61% male) include a significantly larger percentage of labor employees (such as warehouse workers) than is included in our data pool. It should be noted that their statistics about the gender diversity of managers was much closer to the numbers in our sample (24 percent of Amazon managers are female, and 26 percent of PayScale’s sample of non-retail workers is female). For this reason, we reported gender statistics based on the compensation profiles we used to calculate other data points.

    % High Job Satisfaction: This is the percentage of respondents who answered "Extremely satisfied" or "Fairly satisfied" to the question, "How satisfied are you in your job?"

    % High Job Stress: This is the percentage of respondents who answered "Fairly stressful" or "Extremely stressful" when asked "How stressful is your job/work environment?"

    % High Job Meaning: This is the percentage of respondents who answered "Very much so" or "Yes" to the question, "Does your work make the world a better place?"

    Where are tech workers highest paid and most satisfied?

    by Levi Sumagaysay

    http://www.siliconbeat.com/2016/03/04/103174/

    By now we know that tech industry workers are better paid than workers in most other fields. But are they happy?

    A new report from PayScale, a Seattle company that collects salary surveys from workers themselves, takes a look at pay at different points in workers’ careers at 18 well-known tech companies including Apple, Google and Facebook, as well as their satisfaction and stress.

    Not only does the report — which covers 33,500 workers in tech who took a PayScale survey in the past two years — give a more detailed peek into worker pay, it also provides more data for the diversity discussion.

    First, the report confirms that many tech workers are young and male. From PayScale:

    Seven of the 18 companies we compared have a median employee age of 30 or younger, and 10 have workforces with less than 30 percent female employees.

    Speaking of diversity:

    • More about age: The companies with the youngest workers, a median age of 29, are LinkedIn, SpaceX and Facebook. HP, Oracle and IBM have the oldest workers, with a median age of 38, 37 and 36, respectively. Those three companies also had the most workers with the most years of experience and years with the company.

    • Female workers: EBay had the highest percentage of female employees, 43 percent, followed by LinkedIn (42 percent) and Samsung (37 percent). On the flip side, SpaceX had the lowest (14 percent), followed by Tesla and Qualcomm (both 20 percent).

    Here are some more interesting data points:

    • The lowest median pay for those starting out in their careers came from pre-split Hewlett-Packard ($65,400), Samsung ($65,900) and Oracle ($71,400). Also notable: At SpaceX, which literally does rocket science, median early-career pay is $78,500.

    Important caveat: The workers surveyed included non-tech employees such as financial analysts and marketing assistants. Also, the pay figures don’t include stock options and other benefits.

    • Mid-career, for workers with 10 or more years of experience, the highest pay came from LinkedIn ($159,600), Salesforce ($154,600) and Google ($151,600), with Facebook not too far behind ($149,300).

    • Job satisfaction, job meaning and stress: A whopping 96 percent of Facebook employees surveyed reported high job satisfaction, followed by Google and Salesforce workers (89 percent). These numbers were lowest for IBM (59 percent) and HP, Oracle and Samsung (64 percent).

    As for finding high meaning in their work, 92 percent of SpaceX workers said they did, while only 24 percent of Adobe workers agreed.

    And which workers reported high job stress? Again, SpaceX tops this category, with 88 percent. At Facebook, only 44 percent of those surveyed reported high stress from their jobs.

    The complete report is here.

    By the way, Fortune on Thursday released its annual list of best companies to work for, and Google topped the list for the seventh time.

    https://kushima38.kagoyacloud.com/?p=47269 の、Whitfield Diffie と Martin Hellman の、昔の顔と今の顔を見比べて、なんで何も知らない若いときのほうが良い仕事をするのだろうと、考えてしまった。

    人生で一番の業績を残す年齢というのは思いのほか若く、ニュートンは23歳、アインシュタインは26歳、キューリー夫人は30歳。

    30代、40代と、知識は増えていくのに、それにつれて大した仕事が出来なくなっていく。

    サッカー選手が一番輝く年齢と、そう変わりはない。

    サッカー選手がコーチや監督になるにつれサッカーがどんどん下手になるのに似て、大学でも学生が助教授や教授になるにつれ頭がどんどん悪くなるのではないかと、つい考えてしまう。

    この表を見てまず驚くのが平均年齢の低さ。やはり活躍できる年齢はサッカー選手と似ている。
