This is the 10th-ish posting of my NAME job spreadsheet. To remind folk, I just went to the site and jotted down the salaries of the offerings. This does not include perqs like moving expenses, etc, so you need to look yourself. Some ads just have “up to” salaries (e.g. “Up to $290,000”) but no lower bound. I just put the same number in both.
For those sites that do not have a posted salary, I put $0. Obviously, that does not mean that the salary is really zero, but it keeps the columns numerical in the Excel speadsheet. The “average” line does *not* include the zero entries in the calculation.
The Ontario ad is in Canadian dollars. I don’t know how that plays with cost of living — I just plugged the names into bestplaces and ran with it.
The Knoxville dollars columns are the posted salaries adjusted to a single cost of living (Knoxville, because I live there).
As always, caveat emptor. I do not guarantee accuracy. Any Chiefs who see an error, feel free to contact me.
