netflix has it right: purely based on market rate at your given percentile. your percentile reflects your abilities, personality, hard work, etc.

which ties into...

there's a saying that the only way to get a raise in technology is to jump ship. i'm doing that right now and it's worked out to raise my salary by 21%. i'm in new york city. the place has seen a spike in 2010. the money's floating around again after a few tight years, there are plenty of people who think they have a good idea, and the only thing missing is more developers. all of you new yorkers out there, go get your raise. and don't accept any excuses.

ps: throw-away account.
