Well, a bunch of us were just about to reveal our salaries, when MDC
made the bold move of revealing one such salary. Since my own salary
is less than that, there is no reason to reveal mine on this
thread. 

However, this is one anecdotal piece of evidence (and the only thing 
needed for statistical significance is a bunch of more anecodotes).

This helps explain why recruiters cannot find Ada programmers in the
entry level $50,000 dollar a year range. Funny, how this is a case
where you get what you pay for.

For example, the post quoted above (previous post in this thread)
says that MDC is the best there is, and posts to this thread
would not lie :)
