Well, maybe.
Here's the thing I don't get: On one of these sites, when you fill out a
search form, you're required to specify the minimum AND MAXIMUM salary
you will accept.
Why the **** would you have a *maximum* salary? WTF?

At least here in the US, salary information is considered confidential
and isn't supposed to be discussed with anyone other than your boss, HR,
and payroll.

You're looking in the wrong place. I made something like $35k *after* tax
es
upon graduating from college, at a company no better off than yours. In
1985. And this wasn't in a big bustling city either.

Very true.
There are web sites that will give you average salaries for different job
s,
you know.

That's usually more a per-company kind of thing. But most companies want it
that way, so they put it in the rules. It's not any sort of law or anything.
And some salaries at the top are required to be disclosed.
