Think you are over worked and under paid? Well welcome to the party buddy, because there are a lot of us in that same boat. When it comes to working, it is sometimes hard to find a way to compare your own salary against other people who do the same thing in your area of expertise. Well, that was untill PayScale was launched.
Here is the company line on what PayScale is all about and why it was launched.
PayScale Professional provides employers with accurate, reliable compensation detail never before available. My PayScale and PayScale Premium give individuals the accurate facts and negotiation know-how they need in order to make smart, informed career decisions.
Now what is PayScale all about? it allows you to get accurate, real-time salary reports based on your job title, location, education, skills and experience. If you are looking for a new line or work - or you want to hit your boss up for a raise, this is a good resource to have in hand.
This is also a nice tool for employers to do research from so they know how much they should be paying that person that they just hired. All around - it is a nice Web 2.0 application that I could see going a long way in the Online business arena.

THis site seems to be leaning the salaries in favor of the employers.. the average was way to low for my field in my city.. It almost looks like a bunch of hr people went in and entered the salaries their companies would like to be paying. I saw one example profile that the guy had an insane amount of certifications but was only making 67k per year.. for that kind of money he would not be able to afford to renew he certifications..
I would say this site is a bit off kilter and should be looked at with a eye of caution.
