The Company Location Issue
Not as far as I can tell. But, I haven't really sat down and read through it. I admit - I did another poor survey. I should not have put in "...For My Location...". When I first breezed through it I made an assumption that there was some compensdation factor for location. There is:
3. Salary by Company Size & Location of HQ
But for location of Co HQ it ony gives 7 regions of the world. You've brought up a good point.
Having just been to an interview in Boston, I figured a net in Cincinnati which I would accept. But based upon what I think I'm worth - not the salary survey. I told them they'd have to meet the equivalent in Boston $. I used a number of relocation salary 'calculators' and based on US$65K in Cincy, they varied from US$85K to US$115K in Boston dollars. The relocation calculators were pretty neat. All were based upon housing costs, but a couple threw in state/local taxes and various other considerations. I can tell you one thing - living in Boston is NOT cheap.
But as to the survey, I'm guess that location is reflected to some degree in those figures which include the standard deviation. We need a statistics expert to weigh in here.
I did change the Poll wording. If anyone wants to change their vote, just let me know.
