Go take a look at what others are making in your profession. Although, I’m always surprised at the amount. Seems that IT salaries are staying somewhat constant. Read, going against inflation. Out on the ComputerWorld.com site there are additional articles that give a glimpse into the job/paying market. Read one statement that IT is finally coming to grips with the fact that we can no longer expect the high salaries that we have enjoyed for the last decade. REALLY! Don’t you think that salaries HAVE been in the dumps for the last decade. Personally I experienced my greatest salary over 10 years ago and it HAS remained constant, if not less, over the last decade. Although I could be a unique and single case. But I don’t think so.

Regardless, there is a cool Smart Salary Tool that let’s you check salary ranges. It’s a great tool as I’ve not seen this much ease extracting salary data before. Usually you have to give 20+ webforms you email address before getting at some pdf. Not here! Go take a look.
