http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bestjobs/?cnn=yes) I am software engineer but my salary is much lesser than 81000 USD as given by MONEY magazine (please see the link above). Does it mean I am being underpaid? What should be a software engineer's salary in Houston, texas? I have bachelor's degree in computer science and five years experience. Can I talk to my HR about this? My salary is 60K.
