> Technology people are without a doubt the most inept group when it comes to negotiating for compensation.
I would rephrase it as:
People that love what they do are without a doubt the most inept group when it comes to negotiating for compensation.
I think it doesn't matter if you are from IT, an architect or any other job. If you really like what you do, you don't mind to do it for minimal money and business people will exploit that weakness. For example, in architectural field, relevant architects are sometimes invited to be guest teachers in colleges. Once one said during his class:
If they discover that I like to come here, they will stop paying me.
