SharePoint 2010 is such a vast and all consuming beast for enterprise business, that salaries are always going to be high. So how much does a SharePoint consultant really get paid?
On average, a SharePoint 2010 job role usually has a salary around the �50,000 mark. Thats roughly $70,000 per year.
SharePoint 2010 is a new technology and with limited personal having SharePoint 2010 skills, there will always be a big demand at the moment. We have seen with SharePoint 2007 that salary ranges have dropped over the last 2 years. However, the drop is still fairly small with SharePoint 2007 still offering an average salary of �47,000.
The salary range for SharePoint 2010 is also quite interesting. Its evident that there are a large number of jobs advertised around the 35 to 40K mark and then nothing until the 100K mark where there is an abundance of jobs for SharePoint consultants. So if you really want to make it big, start learning SharePoint 2010 today!
