The salaries mentioned here seems more realistic that what I see in this forum. We should be talking in annual salary package terms, not monthly salary which is subjective.

Thank you, always interesting and a good guide. Wonder what other readers make of this guide compared to their own companies. I am in a large company and I find it quite accurate.

Yes I am wondering the same thing as I was looking for some guide in logistics industry

look at the Hudson and Hays ones.

Generally all these free guides provided by recruitment agencies are not accurate as they mainly rely on job titles and years of exp which dont really mean much. Some of the range is so wide almost anyone can fit in. For e.g. IT Manger with 6-8 years exp with range of 60 - 110k. Come on virtually any PME job with that kind of exp is within such a big range. Tells you nothing.

My HR friends laugh at all these marketing materials whenever I mention, they told me the only way to get real and accurate data to know how much your job is worth is to buy proper reports from proper management consutancies.

Yes the above is a good response. Companies like Hays etc publish these free guides but the range is so wide that it is virtually telling you nothing if you are hiring. If you conducting your own comparison then I guess you can tell where you are on the scale. Really difficult if you need info to negotiate on this data as you may be completely off the mark.

Main problem is job naming. For e.g. some companies you can be a "manager" with just 40k while in others a manager can be 400k esp if regional or global responsibilities.

If you just leave school or first 2 years of working, no. of years working can still be good proxy. But for mid careers the progression will be so diverse that you just going to get a meaningless "average" or a very wide range like in the guides.
