Bonuses are back -- if you're a software developer, that is. So are salaries. The job market for developers with the right skills is so tight that employers are offering bonus plans designed to attract new talent and keep their developers from moving to ever more lucrative positions.
As a result, salaries for developers in many parts of the country -- not just Silicon Valley -- are pushing into the $100,000 range and beyond.
A new survey of 700 employers by Dice.com, a major IT jobs board, showed that nearly two-thirds of those companies offered bonus plans for software developers and other employees. About one in 10 companies that offer bonuses have programs exclusively for developers, and nearly half of those programs have been put in place since early 2013.
