q: for a typical 5-year java veteran, what’s a typical salary outside NY/CA?
A: above 80k, as of 2007. Current job market is good.
%%i guess this may be a little higher than the typical h1b 5-year veteran
A: 80k in midwest is “really good” as of 2007

Q: what can i expect from a Satyam perm?
A: 65-70k in midwest is equivalent to 85-90k in NYC. You should Open at 90k and don’t accept anything below 85k.
