In recent years, IT decision makers have told us definitively that two technical areas require the largest investment: cloud computing and cyber security.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the top four IT salary certifications are in the cloud or secure. IT professionals with these skills are in high demand and have the highest wages in the industry.
Our list of highest-paid certifications in the United States is based on responses from the Global Knowledge 2020 IT skills and comptia network+ salary survey (report due to be published in the spring). This year, sales have been higher than most, with seven new certifications among the top 15.
Another new feature this year, we are providing a snapshot of the average certification holder for each title. Find out how many certifications you currently have, what other certifications you may have, your age and the most likely working position. We are offering this new information to provide a more representative picture of each certification. The salaries in this article are not simply the result of obtaining a specific certification: they are the culmination of many factors, including the relevant skills, position, mandate and hard work.
