google, facebook etc are the top range - it goes without saying that the salaries will be far above industry standards. I am talking about our local small start ups that no one has ever heard of. I have seen lot of people who say 'we pay very well', but actually the end offer is often peanuts. I personally always specify a maximum - that way every one knows where they stand and people do not need to waste their time applying for a job where the salary is not up to their expectations. That said, the best candidates (as far as I am concerned) are those who say that salary is not the main criterion - what work are you going to give me? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
