      PD those seem very low. But there’s a ton of variable and factors that are certainly NOT being included there.

      Therefore, I would not rely on those numbers at all.

      thanks Jeremy- as a person who want to move into communiyt / social areana, em figures seemed really low to me..

    5. jeremiah_owyang February 17th, 2008 12:51 pm

      PD

      In the SF bay area 60k-70k is minimum right out of college at an entry level web related position. After a few years, most software folks are over 100k mark.

      The valley is getting to much props here. In the interest of catering to those who prefer sub-zero, arctic like climates while they scrape inches of ice off their windshield…

      I came across this opportunity at Jive software.. I don’t work for Jive, but am a fan of the product… Good SE opening for nice enterprise SM platform in New England region.

      I just did a podcast with Nick Gonzalez in his new socialmedia.com gig. The man doesn’t waste any time!

      Congratulations to all. But is the best term “social media” or “social networking”? The “online” is assumed, eh? I worry over terminology like a sack of potato soup bars.

      Utterz is currently looking for a community manager and customer support specialist.

      Located in either Boston or San Francisco, they need to be active in social media, passionate, team oriented and preferably have some production and/or blogging chops.

      Contact me at sim@utterz.com for more!

      Not sure if this is appropriate to post, but we’re getting an increasing number of social media roles posted on the online jobs board we run - the only dedicated jobs board for new media in the UK - Chinwag Jobs http://jobs.chinwag.com

      We’re not recruiters (we’re a community media company - see my commenter’s website URL above) but both recruiters and employers advertise on our board.

      We’re currently on the look out for a senior developer, and community managers, based in London (UK).
