But for tech workers trying figure out how much money their peers are making, things are not straightforward.

That's because tech firms often compensate employees with stock, which can vary greatly by individual. And base salaries for tech jobs at other types of companies are not as high as you might expect.

With all that in mind, job hunting site Glassdoor sifted through its giant database of self-reported salaries for Business Insider to find the tech jobs which experienced the biggest salary increases during the past year. The data is for base salary alone, and does not include stock compensation, bonuses or other perks.

Across the engineering and tech fields, these are the job titles that got the biggest boost in base pay from May 2016 to May 2017.
