Finding salary information to help you make a decision or negotiate for better pay is not easy. There's the problem of finding up-to-date and reliable data for your situation. Then there's the problem of deciding if the data you are looking at is relevant to your situation. Finally you have to know how to use the information you've found wisely in negotiations, should that mean asking for a raise or asking for a different (usually better) compensation package when accepting a new job.
