Can you compare that against the increase in the standard of living, college, housing, vehicle, and food costs? This by itself doesn't mean anything if everything else is increasing in costs faster than the increase in wages...

Ah wow, I've never made that much. I keep hearing of developers I've worked with going to new companies and making double what I am now. It always astounds how people say what they're being paid, and how I am just no where near it.

Go with what's familiar and what I use? Sounds like good advice. But I'd still like to work on a project that needs help more than some of the bigger, more recognizable ones that already have droves of dev's trying to help. What parts of

That's some big speculation about AIG, and on the part of having women on a board. What makes you think the board didn't know what was going on? They put, and kept in, the CEO, one of the biggest reasons for AIG's collapse. And besides,
