You're missing a dimension here: Your salary is determined in large part by your ability to negotiate.
Jobs are not open market. There's no information clarity about what your competitors for a job are likely to demand. Consequently, you can't depend on the magical hand alone to determine your salary.
- TTPrograms 12y agoAre you talking about in America? It's true that salaries aren't totally transparent, but you really have to stick your head in the ground to not have any idea what a given job pays: http://www.glassdoor.com/ http://www.glassdoor.com/
- tsotha 12y agoThis is only partially true. Even before the internet people talked to each other. You knew basically what you should be making for a given position. I've negotiated salary on every job after the first. I probably ended up with a few extra percent, but it wasn't major.
