A question about salary, as usual.

I know that salary is very specific beast depending on experience and location. I'm looking for people who might be in a similar boat as myself.

I find it's very hard, even as a long-time staffer, to get a real idea of how much I should be making. In everyone's opinions, how much should an assistant editor in Los Angeles be making, on staff, if they've been at the same place for about 3 1/2 years. This is a successful commercial (and documentary) editorial. The 3 1/2 years includes moving up from runner (4 months) to vault (6 months) to assistant (a bit under 3 years). I also worked for a couple years at an editorial in NYC as a staffed assistant.

Hopefully there's enough in that equation.
