Re: The 2006 salary survey has been posted!
As I know this question will be coming: "Why do I have to pay to access the raw data" and "Why did you not provide data for my country specifically" here are the reasons why:
1. It would have taken me several months of work to run detailed reports on every country and given the low sample rates in some areas, would not yield a good result on its own without grouping it with other areas.
2. The service that I use/used to gather the survey results is a paid service. I pay a monthly fee as well as a per response fee. In order to keep the raw data live and filterable on their site, I must continue to pay for the service. To help offset this I am charging a nominal fee for those that need to dig deeper into the data. My feeling is that those who require this information will be able to use it to their advantage and gain as a result or they are companies who will be using the information to determine specific data for their own regions. In both cases the fee is nominal in comparision to the benefit and helps offset my costs.
