9/6 How accurate do you think are the results at http://salary.com?
\_ Take all numbers with grain of salt and then add at least 20%
for living here, their data being old, and job title inflation.
Add even more if you're senior level or walk on water or have
above average buzzword compliance.
\_ the curves are right, the salaries aren't. Add 20-30% to the
salaries there.
\_ Depends on the positions. Some of the numbers are rather high..
$90k for someone with 2 years experience writing web applications
in perl and java? Add 20% to that?
\_ Maybe. Depends on the job specifics and how desperate
they are. To reiterate something that's been covered on
the motd many times before: you're worth whatever you can
get from someone. If a 2 year guy can get $150k and a 10
year guy can only get $45k, the 2 year guy is worth more.
It all depends on how well you negotiate and how desperate
they are. There's no such thing as "working your way up"
or "time served". -been there, there now
\_ There is such a thing as the "perception" of working
your way up and time served. Notice that this fact
does not contradict the previous post. If you're
an honest person who knows their stuff and get paid/
respect based on your integrity, prior experience,
and gratitude, "that's wonderful". However, you can
also get a lame salary under various circumstances,
and, "that is sad". And then there are people who
get a great wage and nice working conditions, who suck.
Naturally, most people want to kick the crap out of them.
\_ I'd agree with that. -previous poster |
