Laid off people (en masse) != laid off individual people.

There's also a significant difference in terminology across companies, of course; perhaps Apple has "Software Engineer" (0-2 yrs exp), "Senior Software Engineer" (3-5 yrs exp), "Supervising Software Engineer" (6-10 years exp), "Old Fogey" (11+ years), "Genius" (Steve Jobs), compared to MS "Junior Software Engineer" (0-2 years exp), "Software Engineer" (3-5 years) ... etc.

I refuse to assume that significant distortions in salary are due to stupidity, in this field in particular. (Also, Redmond may may more per CoL, but who the **** wants to live in Seattle?
