Heh, yeah. It probably won't be, but I might get some useful information
out of it...

Exactly - when applying for jobs, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work
out - but you get some experience with the application (and potentially
the interview) process, and that's always good to have.

Now where on earth do you find data like that?

I can barely believe that that actually works...
Anyway, I'd expect the figures to vary by subject area and region. (The
Prospects survey apparently covers mainly jobs in London, and everything
in London is 8x more expensive, so I guess people get paid more.)
Whatever, it's no secret that I'm underpaid.

Cost of living is certainly a factor - I make pretty good money in Utah,
but I could barely live on my salary in San Francisco (and own a house).

True - but as we've said before, when you look for a new job, don't use
your current pay as an assumed base, especially when considering where
you can afford to live. Your current salary has no bearing on that -
it's what you'll make in the new job that has the most bearing on what
you'll be able to afford.

Oh, right.
Hokey, that makes 2 references now...
(Otherwise it would have made 2 offers from men, which would be a Bad
Thing.)
