Salary.com Accuracy?

[Benzgirl]

We do as a point of reference in one department, but it is not HR, it has nothing to do with our employees, and it's not reflective of what we are paid. Unfortunately titles are rather generic and can span a broad spectrum.

I haven't looked at my own in a couple of years, but when I last did, my salary was far above the range they gave for our locality.

That is so true. The salaries are based on the title of the position. From my experience, the same position's job responsibilities tend to shift, company to company.

I guess if you have a vague job title like "Account Executive" or "Project Manager," it's easy to have a wide salary spread. I'm an Architect, and the titles salary.com uses are pretty much based on what different levels of architects do, and it's pretty accurate. I prefer Payscale.com because they factor in whether or not you have a Master's, and where you went to school.
