Thanks PMKB... new to the forum and although I'm not quite there yet it is good to know where the averages are. Damn, I'm not even average.

Cheers Brian, welcome to the forum.

The survey didn't state where the jobs/employers were located. Locality can skew those numbers quite a bit (cost of living averages). It also didn't state if the positions surveyed were entry level only or included senior positions.

It's hard to draw much conclusions from it other than SAP functional consultants are getting away with murder.
