What the survey shows
Typical
$175,140
Newer manager
$107,550
Director or head of technology
$297,510
The national median is $175,140 a year and the bottom tenth are near $107,550. Read this carefully: the wage survey has no separate line for project managers, so it counts them inside Computer and Information Systems Managers, together with technology directors and heads of technology. The real figures for a first project job sit below the bottom of this range.
