Why Do Some Companies Pay IT Staff Lower Than Other Departments by afrobaby(f): 4:10pm On Sep 10, 2015
With this my little years of experience, I am forced to come to the conclusion that most companies tend to pay the IT staff lower than those in sales, marketing, accounts and other departments, except for major companies that actually appreciate technology. I work in a retail company and it is so funny that even a less experienced staff earns higher.

Most annoying is the fact that, as an IT personnel, one stumbles on some key information every now and then and when you realize that a fresh graduate employed into another department earns as much as you earn or even more, it just kills one morale.

Please, anyone experiencing such cause am really boiling, smiles.

IT Dept. is a service department not a Business Unit.. IT spends all the money Business Units make and never brings money

UX, Growth hackers, Big data analysts and Business analysts are amongst the most sought after in 2015. The pay is mind-blowing.
might not be so Nigeria at the moment but trust me it soon will.
The future is here.

I agree with you partially, but come to think of it, IT may not bring in money but they help you save money towards unforeseen disasters. With the rate at which technology is advancing, there is hardly any company that can do without a solid IT department, it is a key department in every company.

I think this only happens in companies that do not appreciate technology

None of the jobs is about hacking. Don't be sidetracked by the term hackers here. Growth hackers aren't trying to steal secrets from competitors or government agencies. They're tasked with one goal: growth. They are more tech-focused than the digital/traditional marketer.
