Trying to determine how "acurate" the results on www.salary.com really are. What side of the curve are you on?

 

[Spork]

ouch... I'm about $24k below median...

 

[Skylinerider]

Just a touch below the Median for the job I'm in right now.

 

[CJJ92yj]

I'm also a bit below what salary.com says I should be being paid. However, it's a good bargaining chip when you want a raise. I know my boss compares us to those rates and is trying to push the company to get us to those levels. We just hired a new guy though and in the interview he told us what he was getting at his last job and it was right at the levels listed on salary.com.

 

[Hickey]

I'm about $36 K above the median.

 

[Milner]

They don't list anything close to my job....But I can tell you I/we are about 25-30% below the average here is Utah.

 

[TimB]

It says I'm getting paid too much.

 

[CJJ92yj]

I'm about $36 K above the median.

shhh.......Don't tell anyone!

If you take in to account all the OT I average, I make about $12,000 more than the average

 

[Caleb]

Man, I'm getting screwed according to that I make pretty good money but according to that I should be making almost double of what I am

 

[Burl Swift]

I just got promoted to a Systems Analyst 3 from a 4, and the new MRP is 70k+, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to hit it. Wont find out until June, but I was about 20K below on my last one, I'm guessing the trend will continue.

I need to work for a different company,

 

[Badcop]

I could be paid my weight in peanuts and make more than I do now....

 

[pELYgroso]

I'm getting paid a little under the median BUT it says that my job requires a bachelor's degree and 6-9 years of experience....well, I'm 22 with 1 year of goof off time at college...I do have the experience needed though, so that's why I have the job.....not too bad if ya ask me. )

 

[Mother Deuce]

WAY off in my field. And that's not jmo. I work on the salary surveys for my assocation in this area. I wonder where they get their information, I'd like a percentage of the difference in cash.

 

[Bone Down]

for my industry and only going off of the base salary, I am 23k below the median, and 9k below the 25 percential.

 

[CJJ92yj]

FYI, the free evaluations give a national average even though it asks for your zip code or city. It's kind of hard to tell. I'd bet it you were willing to drop coin to buy the full evaluation, it would be a lot more accurate to our area.

 

[Rusted]

Are you sure? For my career I get about a $15,000 difference between a SLC zip code and a New York zip code. Seems to take region into account

this is what it says:

This Basic Salary Report is based on broad national data, reported exclusively by human resource departments of tens of thousands of employers from all sizes, industries and locations. Although these numbers are based on national data, the results are most similar to the data from companies with approximately 1,000 employees. If your company is bigger, smaller or in a unique industry, we strongly recommend using a premium report to ensure the most accurate answer.

So, it says its from "broad national data" but like you saw if I enter a different location it goes up or down so it must take into account the geographic location.

 

[WayneXJ]

If I go by the closest job description I would be in the 99th percentile.

 

[Unimog]

I'm about 25th Percentile. Maybe a little higher.

 

[pumpkinbronc]

I'm in the 75th percentile area
