Members of the Usability Professionals Association are, of course, entitled to the raw data so that they can conduct their own analysis. http://tc.eserver.org/33254.html http://tc.eserver.org/33254.html Most people looking for the first time at the results of the UK Chapter's recent salary survey will rush to find out where they come on the overall pay scale. But the survey asked far more than just 'how much do you make' and because it was widely publicised and open to all, the results have some interesting things to say about the state of our industry. http://tc.eserver.org/33255.html http://tc.eserver.org/33255.html We asked respondents to state their total annual compensation from salary and bonuses; we did not include stock options and other benefits. Given that most stock options have been under water recently, cash compensation may be the most important number anyway. http://tc.eserver.org/33256.html http://tc.eserver.org/33256.html The first UPA UK salary survey results show a range of £18,500 to £90,000 paid to British usability specialists, with a mean of £37,801 and a median of £35,000. http://tc.eserver.org/33257.html http://tc.eserver.org/33257.html Report outlining the results of a usability salary survey for usability, HCI and user experience design professionals jointly conducted by Tania Lang from Peak Usability and Pabini Gabriel-Petit from Spirit Softworks in March/April 2004. http://tc.eserver.org/27792.html http://tc.eserver.org/27792.html During 2005 the Usability Professionals' Association surveyed members of the user experience field to learn: who our respondents are, where they work and what they do; how much they are paid; their satisfaction with UPA. http://tc.eserver.org/27478.html http://tc.eserver.org/27478.html Over the last several years, entry-level salaries have dropped, while pay for experienced usability staff has been more stable. http://tc.eserver.org/21097.html http://tc.eserver.org/21097.html The goal of the 2000 Usability Professionals' Association (UPA) Member Profile and Salary Survey was to gather information that would enable the association to understand the make-up of the membership in order to ensure their needs are being met. http://tc.eserver.org/20583.html http://tc.eserver.org/20583.html It’s human nature to believe that ‘others may be overpaid, but I never am’. Sure enough, about half of the survey respondents said that they were underpaid and about half said that their pay was ‘fair’. Only one person was said he was ‘overpaid’. http://tc.eserver.org/11913.html http://tc.eserver.org/11913.html A survey of 1,078 user experience professionals finds that usability specialists make more money than designers and writers in the same field. In all three areas, salaries are highest in the U.S., lower in Canada and Asia, and much lower in Europe and Australia.
