My leet google skills have let me down, I cant find a site that has a free salary by region comparison. Anyone know a good site for finding the average pay for a specific job in a specific location? Basically Im looking to see if moving to a big city for the money they are offering is worth it.

uh salary.com

all you need is a job title or a something close to it and a zipcode.

thanks to salary.com i know im being fucked out of atleast 8 grand

Yup my bosses get pissed whenever someone mentions Salary.com. OMG the peasents know they are being grossly underpaid! Whatever shall we do?

Salary.com is fucked up. According to them, EVERYONE I know is getting wither midly or royally screwed. Where the fuck do they get there numbers from?

I haven't used it in a while, but I seem to remember them using the mid to high range of salaries rather than actually considering that most would be in the low to mid range.

If I remember correctly, Salary.com makes a lot of it's money off of websites which find jobs (i.e. Monster.com etc etc), so it's in their best interest to make it appear as if you are underpaid - so you will use their sponsors to find a new job.

Just basing this off of what I remember when i was in the job market 3 years ago.... not sure if it is still true.
