I don't know how they get the salary and if it is overall package. I use the following 3 sites 1. http://www.glassdoor.com self-reported, and has bonus, etc, mostly average 2. http://www.payscale.com from survey and research, have different segmentation based on experience, etc 3. http://www.salarylist.com real individual salary from government, not updated often, last update seems is 2010


Site was not working for me when I tried. :(


XXXXXed out the user name. You might want to scrub your exceptions before showing them to the user...

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: User XXXXX already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /home/XXXXX/techcompanypay.com/find.php on line 8 Could not connect to mysql server.


The "search as you type" feature is frustrating and, frankly, rubbish.


Ugh, yes. It almost brought my iPhone 3G to a halt.


I'm pretty sure they weren't expecting the traffic generated by Hacker News and Techcrunch, it fails all the time


Looks like this post and the one on techcrunch has flooded the site with traffic and it can't handle the load


This website is REALLY good at making everyone outside of San Francisco/NY really underpaid.


Don't forget that cost of living is different per state so while you may make six-figures in the Valley, you could live the same lifestyles with less in other states. Check out this calculator: http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliving/costofliving.htm...


I'm curious how that works for New York City. That calculator gives quite a range. For what I make in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, it says the equivalent is something like $110k in Queens, $120k in Brooklyn, and $160k in Manhattan (I don't remember the exact numbers).

From what I've read, New York has really good public transportation, so one could live in any of those areas and work in another of them reasonably. How does that affect what companies actually pay there? Are salaries in Manhattan actually higher in accordance with the Manhattan cost of living, or does the presence of nearby, cheaper, areas bring the pay down?


It's also different in those other countries in the world (yes, there are technology companies outside the US).


Sleep under your desk, and save all that money.

Person with the most at the end wins!


Sorry for the rant but what do you offer? Your site doesn't load at all? How are you not a spammer?

An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.


All I get is an "Application Error"


the mysql is crashing under the strain placed on the site. Time to take it a few notches up in technology used, no? (nosql, etc.)

Interesting site btw, good work.


You honestly should delete this post, it doesn't represent your startup well. Maybe I'm wrong.
