i still remember when a vp sent out an email go come down to the cafeteria and enjoy some mineral spirits. I was like spirits? what did he say. i'm going to go find out.
it would be pretty easy to set up a google form for this and post a link for people to click on and fill out. maybe i'll work on that since i don't have a whole lot going on at work today. if i (or someone else) did do this, there must be some easy way to share the data with anyone who wants too see. though i'm not sure how to do that?
This poll requires the mandatory question: 'number of years working in practice?'. Many have added this information as 'exp' in the comments as advised, however many have not; without this, it is impossible to compare the data.
I'm doing a data visualization project where we had to use screen scraping to collect and this was the first source I could think of. There is also a cleaned up set of simplified data (and scatterplot) of just the US entries at
FWIW, the data that exists is _very_ messy, particularly the location and the salary entries. It wouldn't be that hard to change the form to make the data cleaner (force a numeric answer on salary, fields for city, state, country, currency). Would make it a lot easier to graph!

actually he announced it on the speaker system that's why i didn't catch everything he said.
a cafetaria? just how big of a firm do you work for? I thought I was at a massive company...
they had what amounts to a full size kitchen, it was two levels of office space, and lots of sitting area also used for meeting and stuff.

For those interested...
