I get messages all the time from GIS professionals at every stage—entry-level analysts, mid-career specialists, and even senior professionals—wondering where the field is headed. The common concerns? GIS salaries often lag behind similar data roles by $20K or more. Many GIS professionals feel stuck, hitting salary ceilings with limited upward mobility. The field is evolving, but career paths remain unclear for those who want to advance. A big reason for this gap is what I call the Technician Trap—GIS is often seen as a technical support role rather than a strategic function. That perception directly impacts pay, career growth, and job opportunities. But there’s a way forward. In my latest podcast episode, I break down: Why GIS salaries are lower than comparable data roles—and how to shift that dynamic. The technical skills that create real career flexibility—Python, SQL, and cloud-native GIS. How to position yourself as a strategic problem solver, not just someone executing tasks. Practical steps to accelerate your career, whether you’re looking for a new job or growing in your current role. GIS is an incredible field, but to truly thrive, we need to move beyond traditional career paths and start thinking differently about our roles, skills, and value.
