Naturally, high strata, mananagerial positions e.g. CIO, CTO are the highest-paid on the list, averaging $200,000 per annum. Not going into details (the full report can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/bicortex.com\/bluewolf-it-salary-guide-for-2012\/salaryguide2012_itallregions_bluewolf\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-523\">here<\/a>) but from BI perspective it looks like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Data Analyst and BI Professional salaries \u2018will creep past pre-recession levels, rising between 5-6% annually<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top tier ERP, BI and CRM Developer salaries will raise from $84,000 &#8211; $105,000 to $88,000 &#8211; $110,000<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">BI Developer \u00a0with 3+ years experience (part of business applications development strand)\u00a0 has recorded an average increase in salary and for 2012 this should average around $120,000 depending on which part of U.S. (Long Island, Bay Area, Boston etc.) you live in<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Data Warehouse Analyst together with Data Warehouse Engineer, Senior Data Analyst and BI Analyst also averaged approx. $120,000 salary (again, depends on the exact location)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">As far as industry hot list, for healthcare, Data Warehouse Analyst took third place with $88,000 &#8211; $104,000. For retail, BI Developer was in second place with $108,000 &#8211; $121,000 and Data Architect was in fifth with $114,000 &#8211; $189,000. For financial services Data Architect was in number four with $89,000 &#8211; $114,000.
