( I try to ask each and<br>every recruiter whom asks me about a position the compensation<br>range. )<br><br>Those numbers may include cash bonuses, but not other benefits.<br><br>Thus for the sales related positions the numbers are higher than<br>the base salary.<br><br>I'm guessing in the LA area we are 10-20k lower in some jobs<br>than the Bay Area. For some positions the delta maybe a bit more.<br><br>So for the data in the graphic was rather close to the numbers I<br>have been seeing.<br><br>Anyone notice significant variations on what they have been<br>seeing in terms of compensation ranges?<br><br>thanks<br>matti<br><br><br><br>===<br>On Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:33:20 -0700 (PDT), matti <<a

</a><br><br>Does this include benefits? They seem high as country-wide averages if it<br>doesn't, but maybe I'm out of touch having not held a salaried position in<br>20 years. I would note the source seems more interested in publicity than<br>accuracy though.<br><br>On the original blog post the source does mention, down in a comment:<br><br>"Most of the positions in the dataset are indeed based in Silicon Valley,<br>and the tool reflects the intensifying talent war in the Bay Area."<br><br>-braddock<br><br><br><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
