Salaries are just a price for goods and like every price they rise and fall
with supply and demand. My guess is the supply of experienced applicants is
increasing in this economy (HP and IBM seem to layoff endlessly) so I would
be careful with demanding too much. There may be other applicants which have
the same level of experience as you and are willing to work for less. Keep
in mind that many times these laundry lists of requirements are pie in the
sky wish lists and employers often settle for someone that are a less than
perfect match. I have seen applicants come back with sky high "consulting"
salary requirements and they don't often get hired unless the particular
project is in a real bind. NY state taxes are up there, so take that into
consideration and they are likely to rise in coming years as that state is
one with the serious financial issues.
