With the economy booming, enterprise IT budgets — and salaries — continue to increase. According to the recently released 2018 State of IT report from Spiceworks, 87% of companies expect their technology budgets to either get larger or stay the same next year, and on average, they anticipate a 19% increase. In addition, 93% of enterprises are planning to increase their IT headcount or keep it steady.
