Looks pretty nice. Loads a little slow, but our connection at the office
is crap. Transitions in that initial Flash movie on the home page appear
to have a lag, but you may be using loadMovie() to bring in the pics
(rather than having them in the file), and with my connection here that
may just be load time. You might want to make that 'location' DHTML drop
down menu swing left, rather than right like the others, so that the
menu stays within your 'page'.

There should be another column for total years programming, since a 10
year developer with 2 years coldfusion experience is usually going to
make considerably more than a 2 year developer with 2 years of
coldfusion.

For living in PBA you should be making a TON more...especially when you're
working at such an expensive school.
I used to have lots of friends that went there. Outrageous how much they
charge.

Yeah, the average price of single family homes in PB county was around
400K a few months ago. Right now the market is dead though, like most
of the country - we'll see what happens.
I agree that getting my CF Cert isn't all that big of a deal - even if I
had failed the test I would have been glad I did it because it made me
learn about a lot of the things in CF that I have never needed to use.
However, my boss and HR and the VP of Business don't know anything about
web programming so I'm using the Cert as a way to prove to them that I
do know what I'm doing - since this is my first job out of College.
And for any of you who may have checked out www.pba.edu please don't
judge me based on that horrendous site, I inherited. The new one can be
found at www1.pba.edu - I started the project about 2 years ago and
we're hoping to launch this month. I can't believe how slow things
happen at Higher Education institutions.
Thanks for the survey and for everyone who responded,

I'm currently working at an educational service center in Kansas and get
paid little over double that. At first I found it difficult to take such a
huge pay cut from the mid 90k range and move to the country, but the freedom
and respect I get at this job makes up for it. I was originally on the
lookout for another position, but the wife refused to move because she's not
into the city life anymore. There is a lot to be said about the freedom at
the work place and not slaving away. Used to live in Nashua, NH and commute
into Boston every freakin day...now I just come in when I want to and drive
through corn fields :)
Also gives me a chance to play around with new stuff without having to stay
up to the wee hours of the morning....

No, you should do the survey. A good survey captures as much of the
population as possible, and while this is not going to be scientific,
more data is always better. Especially since he lets you put in how
many years you've worked, if your's is low, then that would match the
low pay. I didn't get paid at my first 'CF job' (a university), and my
second only paid me about $36k/year.

I think you'll find that a certification doesn't get you as much as
you might hope. All it says is that you memorized a book; it doesn't
speak anything about how you apply that knowledge to solving
real-world problems. If you've got no experience, it can help a
resume, but I'm personally inclined to "penalize" a resume that lists
certifications too prominently, as it indicates a focus on the wrong
thing.

Would be as simple as having two fields, one for monetary compensation
and one for non-monetary compensation. So if your employer kicks in
$200/mo for insurance and $50/mo for retirement, then your
non-monetary benefits would be $3000/yr. Not real precise, grant you,

No doubt. I put in "web software developer, Sr." in my area, and the
median salary was quite a lot more than I'm making =) I'm 9 years into
CF, I think I've earned "Sr." =)
Oh well, I guess I have good retirement benefits. That's what I keep
telling myself!

Here's a few more things to consider.
- Cost of living
I can move to another city, double my salary, but the cost of real estate is
insane and would alter my monthly spending habits.
- Current exchange rate
Though I'm sure many subscribers to the list are American, there are a
number of us from Canada and abroad.

I think it would be useful to include a means of determining what
benefits you get if any.
This can quickly grow out of control, but some indicator would be nice.
$72k no benefits
$58k w/benefits
$58k w/ medical, dental, employer retirement contribution
Yes
If people are interested, willing and not offended, I'll set up a quick
anonymous poll so people here could enter their annual salary, city,
state, country, years with CF, and comments.
It wouldn't be scientific by any means, but it could be some interesting

True, plus you have whether doing 1099, W-2, or whatever work. I know when
I was W-2 I made a bit less yearly but the money in my pocket at the end of

Sounds like a fun option.
I'm not really holding my breath. It's my first job and I'm using it
mostly to gain experience. There is a lot of flexibility and freedom to
use time to learn new technologies and languages. Right now they are
paying for some .NET training for me as well and need me to work on a
new portal they bought using c# so I'm considering staying at least a
year to get some good experience doing that.
However, none of that helps when you have to pay living expenses in
South Florida. As soon as we launch our new site I'll be ready to move
on but if I can negotiate a better salary I would be content for a
little longer.
Thanks for the sources... monster.com has a little salary wizard and I
had used salary.com in the past. I guess I was hoping for anything more
specific to CF programming since the recent certification is my biggest
ammo.

To be blunt I wouldn't hold your breath. Companies, in general, are
going to pay as low as they can and stick with it. If you're accepting
that paycheck then they have no reason to move.
I've been with the same company for over 10 years now... but the only
way I've ever gotten substantial raises is to leave the company (at a
raise) for a few months and then get hired back (at another raise) or
move on.
I've only made this cycle once (I'm quite comfortable where I am now)
but I know others, especially management, that has bounced in and out
upwards of
3-5 times.
It takes a decade and can be really painful (moving, learning new
cultures,
etc) or so but you can end up at a much higher salary point than you
would have been had you stayed pat. Of course it's also a huge
gamble... so you could end up a swing-shift manager at McDonald's.

If people are interested, willing and not offended, I'll set up a quick
anonymous poll so people here could enter their annual salary, city, state,
country, years with CF, and comments.
It wouldn't be scientific by any means, but it could be some interesting
data.
A few yes's and I'll get it going.

Well monster.com is actually based on the average of the area. They've
probably have either used census data or surveyed a small sample group.
And if I was making what they say I should be making I'd be one happy
camper...

It's either careerbuilder.com or monster.com...one of the 2 has salary
estimator.

Hey Everyone,
I recently took my CF 7 test and got an 88% (I used the CFMX Exam Buster
sold by centrasoft.com which really helped in case anyone is planning on
taking the test soon).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can point me to any resources that I can
use to show my boss what the average salary is for Coldfusion Developers. I
work at a higher education institution and salaries right now are kind of
low, and they know it but it's a struggle to get them to do anything about
it.
So if anyone knows of any reputable statistics I could use to show my boss
what the range should be I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Peter

To be blunt I wouldn't hold your breath. Companies, in general, are going
to pay as low as they can and stick with it. If you're accepting that
paycheck then they have no reason to move.
I've been with the same company for over 10 years now... but the only way
I've ever gotten substantial raises is to leave the company (at a raise) for
a few months and then get hired back (at another raise) or move on.
I've only made this cycle once (I'm quite comfortable where I am now) but I
know others, especially management, that has bounced in and out upwards of
3-5 times.
It takes a decade and can be really painful (moving, learning new cultures,
etc) or so but you can end up at a much higher salary point than you would
have been had you stayed pat. Of course it's also a huge gamble... so you
could end up a swing-shift manager at McDonald's.

Search the job sites for coldfusion jobs and see what they are paying.

You think so? I thought that they looked on the high side. I checked my
field there, for my area and I don't know anyone who says they're making
those figures.
