If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
If I was making as much money as this 2006 IT Survey Calculator says I should be, I'd be a happy man ($53,000+, according to the site). Geeks: What does it say you should be making?

Had a job interview tonight and didn't ask for nearly that much. Then again, I'd really like this job and the long term benefits will be better than cash in the short run.

BUT, I do a LOT of other stuff that falls outside the scope of the options there, so I should be paid a LOT more.
/me runs off to show this to his employer
Jake said on 09/06/06 @ 09:35 AM: Yeah, I do a ton of stuff outside of what those boxes say, too, and I didn't include my overtime -- I basically checked off the BARE minimum for what I do, and it's still more than 10K high.
/me isn't happy about that....
