Here's how the past 5 have gone;
1999 - 3 raises of 6% each
2000 - 2 raises of 8% each
2001 - 2 raises - 10% and 40%
2002 - no raises
2003 - laid off
Ugh.

UK ..
difficult to tell as annual pay increase tends to come at the same time as promotions etc...
but every year we have at least an inflationary payrise and annual bonus of ~ 8%...
I appreciate he has his detractors, but in one of his books, Michael Moore talks about how the 'workers' are repeatedly told to tighten their belts etc, while the 'owners' continue to profit ... hearing of these 0% raises over several years makes me wonder if he's right ..

well, it hasn't increased *yet*, but i'm going to be asking for a raise at the end of the year. Its a little different since i'm still in college, but i'll be asking for a 15% raise. I think its fair, considering I went from knowing about 4 or so languages really well, to also becoming one of the top 3 j2EE guys at our company. And, I don't make *that* much. Both of the development leads make about twice as much as me.

2001 - 0%
2002 - 0%, then redundant
2003 - accepted job with longer hours and more tedium for lower salary
An uncomfortable trend, eh?

I'm the (part) owner of my business, so it's not really sallary, but here it is:
2001: No raise (0%)
2002: Minus 30%
2003: Plus 4%
The minus 30% was due to a large client that got bought up by an even larger company and didn't throw off near as much work to us under the new management. The business was still (barely) profitable as a whole, just not as profitable as it had been in past years.
Anyway, for our employees, here's the averages over the last few years:
2001: 6.5%
2002: No raise -- Salary freeze
2003: 4%
I'd say that, in this market, 5% is doing pretty good.

I have contracted at the same company for 4 years:
2000 - +2% (started with them)
2001 - +210% (a really good contract)
2002 - -55% (things tough, but they still wanted me)
2003 - -50% (things tough, but they still wanted me)
At the same time, employees at this same company...
2000 - +2% + 20% bonus (~$15k for most programmers)
2001 - 0% (and no bonus)
2002 - 0%, layoffs and no bonus below Vice President
2003 - 0%, and no bonus below Vice President
Execs take care of themselves here. Programmers (IT in general) are considered an expense, not an asset.

Interestingly enough, I just landed a new job – after a year of being unemployed.
I was assuming that I'd have to take at least a small cut in pay (if not a big one), but I actually got a 6% increase over my last base salary.
Not too bad, especially if you consider that the people left at my previous employer haven't gotten more then 1% raises for the past 3 years...

Well, I was unemployed last year, and now I'm working, so ... infinite.
My salary increased by 26% from 2001 to 2003, but of course that was at different companies.

You have to consider the cost of living when comparing incomes. For instance a regular 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan is 750k or more. A 100k income in Manhattan gets you as far as 50k in Midwest (or possibly 50k in France).

There is a website where you can type in any two locations and compare incomes needed.
The differences are often greater between countries than within them.
Remember that you get to keep the more expensive apartment.
And most people in NY will be commuting from somewhere a lot cheaper than Manhattan.
And Paris property prices are sky high.

Oh please tell me where it is!!!
I am persuading my girlfriend to move from Germany to the UK after being in the US 3 years ago.
3 or 4 years ago she was earning 58K$
She moved to Germany and went to 49KEuro.
Now we are looking at a UK salary of 25K£ (37.5K$) with an extra 3 years of experience.
Is this in line with expectations?
Considering someone with 4/5 yrs experience in the SW UK I think 25K is an average salary now. But looking at the drop since 3 yrs ago - it's crazy.
I can't understand where the big difference in cost of living comes from!
Thanks for any comments!
