According to the most recent Dice Salary Survey<\/a>, the average tech pro made $93,244 in 2018, a very slight 0.6 percent increase from the year before. For many Americans, that\u2019s a lot of money\u2014but many tech pros don\u2019t consider their annual pay nearly enough. That could make things much more complicated for recruiters and hiring managers who are already wrestling with less-than-ideal budgets for talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind recently asked its pool of anonymous tech pros to answer \u201cTrue\u201d or \u201cFalse\u201d to the following statement: \u201cI am paid far less than the value I create.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slight majority (55.8 percent) responded with \u201cTrue,\u201d<\/a> that they were paid less than their value. The answer also varied by company: Some 60.68 percent of employees at Uber, 60.53 percent of employees at LinkedIn, and 59.09 percent of employees at Intel all thought they provided value above and beyond their take-home pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side of the equation, only 31 percent of respondents who worked at Facebook thought they were underpaid relative to their value; some 44.64 percent of eBay employees thought the same. Check out the full list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
