Hello,

ION Magazine is breaking down some ICANN figures:

"The average pay per staff member at ICANN in 2014 was over $187,000. Even excluding top executive pay, on average ICANN employees earned $169,000, an increase of $25,000 (10 per cent) per head since 2013. This is against a backdrop of continuing recession in US, and an inflation rate of less than one per cent."

So average, to slightly above average, professional wages for a tech industry job?

I'd personally be happy with $100k-$120k a year. No one should need more than that to live on.

You are right, no one should. Unfortunately that salary isn't nearly as crazy as many people might think. Though my viewpoint is probably skewed since I live in Seattle, home of Microsoft, Boeing, Expedia, Starbucks, Amazon and countless other tech companies. The demand for employees is in satiable and the salary's/perks are always getting better and better. Right out of college with the right degree and some intern experience and you are making this salary or just a little bit less around here.
