Re: How can you tell how much you're worth?
I've tried searching on monster.com, careerbuilder.com... and run into the same problem as Foxer stated in post#2, that is their job titles or job descriptions don't or just partly match what I'm doing. For example, they categorize IT jobs into software, hardware, and support... but there's no job that does all three fields as I'm doing. They also assign "levels" for each job and those descriptions for the levels are just too generic and overlap one another. Take myself for example, I have a bachelor degree in computer science, been working on the field for over 3 years... Should I consider myself at level 2 or level 3? More importantly, it doesn't matter what I consider myself is but what the prospective employers are seeing that really counts.
Although talking to other IT professionals in the same area is an excellent idea, I'm new to the area and hardly have any friends besides my co-workers. It doesn't do any good talking to them for obvious reason: they work for the same company as I do. Talking to recruitment agencies is also a good idea. I'll try this and see what they think.
I'm still open for your inputs on this subject.
And thank you all who have contributed your thoughts, suggestions and ideas to this thread.
