[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So.. Utah > UNC? or IU?  Not sure how accurate that list is. Is  it based on surveys?[/quote]

No.  It was based on analysis of Glass Door and Lightcast by Burning Glass Institute, a nonprofit that researches employment trends.  Glass Door and Lightcast have data on jobs in finance, their salary, and the person who filled the position.[/quote]
Glass Door is based on surveys.  I don't know about the other.[/quote]

They have job listings and know the background of the person that fills the listing.[/quote]
ok, but it's still a survey. So, if people from x university don't fill out the survey, then you won't see them on the list.  [/quote]

No survey.  They have information on job opportunities with salary information and know the college of the candidate that fill it.

Payscale is self-reported, but that isn't what is used here.[/quote]
Glass Door is based on user input and may have out dated info.

[quote]    Glassdoor salary information is self-reported and not verified, therefore some salaries are likely not correct. 
    [b]The better sources are the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Payscale.com. [/b]
    Salary details on Glassdoor are more likely to be accurate for larger companies with many reviews versus smaller companies.

[b]There’s also no way to confirm which data is current and whether a company has increased or decreased a salary for a position since the time the user made the entry.[/b]  [/quote][/quote]
