Yeah, well, I used the salary calculator before I moved to California. I
used as a basis what I made in Houston. According to that calculator, I
should have asked for 102K here in the Valley. Needless to say, I am not
making near that salary.
Now, either the calculator is screwy, the Writer's market is, or I am for
taking a pay cut. :-)
