Does anyone have any suggestions for estimating a salary range for a position? I've tried looking at Salary.com, Glassdoor, etc. but there's nothing remotely close to the position I'm interviewing for.

I was going to go with the generic route of my current salary + Cost of Living difference + 5-10% increase based upon it being a promotional opportunity.

The main problem with this route is that I don't want to offend the organization by asking for too much... and yet I don't want to get screwed by low-balling myself.

We're talking in the 100k+ range here, so the comparisons are a bit harder on the various sites.

Thoughts??

Your age? If you're past late 30s, 135K is reasonable for that area.

Why would age calculate into the equation? The employer would not know your age until after you submitted your verification of ability to work.

Base pay Seattle area: $104 - $120k
Total direct pay (Includes bonus) $108 - $129K

Limited match info, sorry. Above is for an IT Security Manager (with staff) with 7+ years Exp. in Seattle
There is no specific technology indicated in my database which assumes hiring company will find technically qualified candidates.

Thanks a lot. The area I was targeting was 110-120, so this sounds pretty accurate.
