Next week, I’ll be taking my CDI State of the Industry virtual road show to California and Minnesota. Every year, I work with the ACDIS editorial and administrative teams to delve into our various publications to identify areas of evolving focus. The first place I look is the annual CDI Salary Survey.
When ACDIS first conducted its CDI Salary Survey, more than half the respondents earned $69,999 or less. In 2018, only 17% fell into that bracket, down from 20% according to 2017 results. Those who earn salaries of $100,000 or more, however, grew to 28.15%, up from last year’s 25.58%, indicating that top-earning CDI professionals found themselves on a path of continued growth in 2018.
If CDI specialists report continued earnings growth, does that logically mean there’s opportunity for professional advancement?
