You may wonder whether your salary is on par with the others in the industry. Or you would like to know how much salary that you should ask for during the job interview. Below are four web sites that you can use to find out the salary information.
Indeed is a job listing site that lets you do some interesting searches such as a search like "Accountant $50,000" which will show you the accountant position anywhere in the country with the salary of $50K. Or you can compare salaries in a certain area by specifying the zip code. You can also save the searches and have jobs delivered to your inbox or RSS reader.
PayScale is a compensation information site that collects research on millions of people for R&D purpose. It has more detailed data than any other sites. You can find detailed information such as salaries by location, education levels and years of experience rather than just a job title.
Glassdoor concentrates on reports and reviews from users. They need to sign up and agree upon the salary disclosure before entering the detailed data. The concept is to collect the salary information and feedback for each and every job title at a company so that you can evaluate a job offer or you can see how well you are doing relative to others.
SalaryScout is similar to Glassdoor in terms of getting the input from users. However, the key advantage is an RSS feed for searches you perform to help you to keeping up with the latest information. The design of the web is simple and it's very easy to use.
