This is a document that shows salary ranges for lots of IT positions and has geographical adjustment as well : http://s3.amazonaws.com/DBM/M3/2011/Downloads/RHT_2015_salar...

(anyone with other documentation that could easily be referenced in a salary negotiation?)

Another thing: I have an easy copy-paste response to recruiter cold contacts on linkedin where I say basically: I'm committed to my current company, but I'm always interested in real salary information, if you have something you can share I'd be happy to keep you in mind in the future. ... sometimes that gets me a number.

Having accurate information that you trust is half the battle IMO.



Thanks for sharing!

> Software Engineer 2015 $ 96,000 - $147,250

Uh...really‽ Is that range like [new grad - experienced]? Should I expect the same range from a software engineer at a device manufacturer not-on-one-of-the-coasts?


The doc. is published by a staffing agency, so they are on the sell side rather than the buy side, which means the numbers are higher, which is one of the reasons I like it as a reference!


The US gov posts public data divided by state here: http://www.bls.gov/bls/blswage.htm


Thanks.


This recruiter idea is genius. I just added it to my standard reply to recruiters and I've already got a response.
