[quote=Anonymous]OP, in IT you have to job jump to get a higher salary. Its rare a company will give you a huge increase in less you move to another position or company. My husband has had to move every few years. He has a degree from a no name university that no one has ever heard of. At some point your technical skills and willingness to learn new technology are far more important than your degree. There are plenty of IT jobs but the better paying are contractor/DOD/cleared jobs. Otherwise, some of the bigger companies like Amazon are here and are hiring and they pay better. The university and government are comfortable and secure jobs so you have to be willing to take a risk and have enough savings so if your contact cuts you, which is common, you have safety net for a few months. If you have kids and the University has perks like free college, it might be worth staying just for that.[/quote]
