We all sell our skills to the highest bidder.
It all boils down to what you are happy selling your skills for.
for the record, I pay my engineers peanuts and I've got monkeys......

Come and work in Afghanistan. Tax free, free accomadation, food and laundry. My job is up for grabs as I am returning home at the end of the month to look after Her in doors as she isn't well.
There are only 3 sports in this world. Hunting, shooting and fishing. Everything else is just a game.

OK,
To answer the OP's question,
The true answer is normally 10% above what your boss is willing to pay and 30% below what you think you deserve...
