Ray,
I am seeing salaries over $100,000 more frequently on employment sites like theladders.com
especially for Director level positions. Of course, salaries are also going to depend on the cost of living in that particular city.

Let's get down to the basics - show me the money.
Where should the salaries be? It will vary greatly depending on your
location [legal disclaimer] but what should we expect? Given the surveys
and watching the postings I think we should be somewhere near this for
offerings.
CRM and a degree $58 - 70,000
CRM and Master's level $64 - 75,000
Years of experience would matter and certainly the supervisory
experience and the other skills required or perhaps the nature of the
industry. Education less and Pharmaceuticals or legal would pay more for
example. A new program might require more experience or a new CRM with
say five years might command less but in terms of the offering I think
those ranges are close.
Anything under $50k for a CRM for me is a problem and when employers
call me I tell them such. Sometimes they will fudge and post the job as
"CRM desirable" or some such thing. We see the same thing with advanced
degrees.
Having been involved in these searches I have found that CRMs are
getting harder to lure without higher salaries or benefits. Don't get
hung up on the salaries, remember benefits matter. The demand has picked
up out there in recent years.
What are others thoughts on this? I have seen postings in the 80k range
for CRM and Master level but fewer salaries are being posted. I am
calling and emailing many employers to see where offering ranges are.

Well said John and I agree totally. Unfortunately, this has been an
issue
for many years now with seemingly little progress in many areas of the
country. Of course regional economics play into the salary ranges but
they
still seem either to come up way short or on the low end, for the
qualifications they would like to have.
It appears that the more well educated organizations and industries,
where
RIM is seen as a vital part of operations, are the ones in which
salaries
are reasonable. I'm not sure these more well educated organizations are
doing this because of anything our profession has done, but may be more
compliance driven to RIM through the various regulatory and legislative
requirements over recent years.
So the question still remains...How does ARMA, ICRM and we the
professionals, get us form here to there? I don't really know, but it
seems
to me a nation-wide marketing plan might help.
Pass the popcorn please.
