It depends on your location, skill level, and the position you are applying for. The best way to do it is research and interview - find out what offers are out there, and what people are paying for them.

Check a job site see if there are any jobs similiar to yours then look at what they are offering.
In this industry there is nothing like perfect salary.
It depends totally on your skill.
It might be your technical skill or how u made the bargain with the HR.
But if u feel desatisfied with your curent employer/job, u can always change n find out a better one.

Almost all IT people (In fact almost all people in any industry) will tell you a good salary for the industry is "more than I'm getting".
Bottom line is if you think what you are offered is fair, take it (ie would you do the work they want for that price).
Often advertised positions will have prices attached, and you can compare to these (as I think someone already said).
You can always look for a new position (and while employed are earning valuable experience - one of the deciding factors in salary, I think).....Mone y is not always what makes a job worth while (although it's nice), and even if it were, there is no harm taking a lesser paid job to gain experience for the better paid job. As you work in the industry you will often hear/overhear what others are getting, and if you're not happy with your package, don't be afraid to either approach management or look to move on (if people value your work and fear you will move on, you may find them willing to increase salary, provided they think it's worth it)

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is
it?
This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I
don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have
noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is
also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete
with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
