Keep Your Job, Stay Relevant in This Economy

While the economy seems to be slowly recovering, many companies are still fighting layoffs and have been forced to cut holiday bonus spending.

With so many belts tightening, a lot of IT professionals who would have retired at the end of this year have decided to stay in the workforce and rebuild lost savings. But mature tech pros need to make sure they stay relevant in the ever changing IT environment. Don't get left behind if you choose to delay your IT retirement.

Worldwide PC shipments soared during the fourth quarter, driven by historically low PC prices and an increased demand for laptops and netbooks, analyst firm IDC said Wednesday.

Shipments totaled 85.8 million units during the fourth quarter of 2009, growing 15.2 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. The unexpected growth signals a possible end to the struggles the PC industry has gone through during the recession, IDC said in a statement.

According to this year's U.S. IT Salary Survey from InformationWeek, technology pros shouldn't get too optimistic when asking for a pay raise in 2010 - because it's pretty unlikely that they're going to receive one.

The survey found that the median pay raise for IT pros in 2010 is zero percent. That's right – zilch – and unfortunately, it applies to both base salaries and total compensation, including bonuses.

Here are just a few of the other findings of the survey, based on responses from 20,492 IT pros who participated between November 2009 and January 2010:

• 40 percent said they've had their pay frozen, versus 26 percent who said the same last year;
• 15 percent have received pay cuts, while six percent experienced this in 2009;
• 29 percent saw their benefits cut back, while last year 17 percent reported the same.
• 23 percent said their careers have not been impacted by the economy, compared to 34 percent who said the same thing in 2009.
