Software Development's Annual Salary Survey is out: San Francisco Bay Area programmers report the highest averages @ \$100K for staff, and \$119K for management, Twin Cities come it at the low end for metro areas with \$83K staff and \$92K management. National mean is \$77K staff and \$96K management (implying a pretty big drop-off from metro salaries in outlying areas). Management pay is going up while staff pay is flat.
This survey has really gotten a lot better over the years and has enough regional breakdowns to be actively valuable for the job seekers. My favorite factoid: The highest staff salary by language used? Python @\$86K! The market speaks, ignore it at your peril!
