So how do you best get those numbers?
The Internet is a great tool. I'm not speaking of sites like www.salary.com or www.payscale.com.
Personally, I find these sites too generic for my taste.
The sites I use are:
www.jobsearchuniverse.com
www.indeed.com
www.simplyhired.com
In the name of full disclosure, Job Search Universe if a search engine I build using Google search engine technology; it searches more than 2200 websites and employer career pages for information. Indeed and Simply Hired are similar meta search tools.
Each provides enormous job market penetration that allows me to collect information.
For example, if I want to know about j2EE Swaps developer salaries in New York, I enter the search into one of these search engines and examine the results anc determine what salaries are for the skill.
I know its easier to just call me and ask but, heah, this will probably be far more accurate!
