#62Not to be (too) critical, but the least you could have done was to spend some time coming up with something other than the default Twitter Bootstrap theme. Care about your baby!

#63I tried a search using "California" as the only input variable.
A total of seven results were returned. Only two were in the state of California. Only one was a tech job (programmer analyst). The others were for a pharmacist, a dentist, a professor, two office managers, and a football coach.
Is this thing on?

#64Looks like some wages were probably incorrectly labeled as monthly rather than yearly, so that's why those are 12x what they should be

#65Keep getting Internal Server Error.
But I know it's legit, I found my own old salary :P

#66Does it use the same dataset as http://www.h1bwage.com/ ? The results seem different.
We probably used the same dataset but when we developed, most DoL database dumps were 404 links and so salar.ly only has data for 2011 and 2012. I sent an email to the DoL to fix their links but haven't heard back yet.
Do these salaries refer to base salaries (not including stocks, bonuses, etc.)?

#67Hi craigkerstiens, first, thanks for making this. If you're open to feedback, although I'm sure a lot of effort went into the current mouseover-driven interface, I would just share that I'd strongly prefer a simple list of results in addition to the graph.

#69Oddly enough, out of the statistically significant sample-set Suffolk,MA (covers Boston/Cambridge) at $120K beat out San Francisco,CA at $105K. And rent's a bit cheaper in Boston vs. SF. But perhaps the best statistically significant bet is getting a job at Montgomery, OH where the average H1B salary is $95K which using cost of living calculator in comparison between Cincinnati, OH (the nearest metro) to San Francisc…
Better yet, Montgomery's a lovely place to live! Best BBQ ribs in the tri-state area! Source: Grew up around there
But a horrible place for tech jobs. So fly there for the ribs.

#70Since it's getting hammered here's one screencap I just made: http://i.imgur.com/YxDb9Sz.png And here's the top 250 median salary counties as a google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U-opUT1wyVtrWuXxfvARV7xt... Are tech job salaries really correlated to anything at all? When I mention my salary to other software people I get either "I wish I made that much" or "why do you make so little?"
Tech salaries are correlated only to your ability and willingness to negotiate. That's what happens with a market starved for good people.
How do I know if I'm good? If I'm a fresh grad I have no idea if the salary I'm getting is good. Without an objective measure of skill and without knowing how "good" other people are its pretty hard for a greenhorn to know.
