I wonder if anyone has any experience with www.salary.com and using their estimates as a negotiating tool. Are the ranges they estimate for jobs in the web industry usually reliable, or are they generally too low/high? thank you.

It's just a result of the current economic climate. People who got hired in web development were at a premium 2 years ago and could get top dollar where as now it's so much harder to find work that employers are paying much less for the same (or more even) talent. Anyway I bet the econimic downturn and the state of the job market have skewed these numbers considerably as to what people are getting paid and what new hires are getting offered .:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.
