BlueFlower,
Jonny gave you the details of the salary .. You can get it from www.flcdatacenter.com. Just use the wizard it will guide you to the right place.
As far as your question is concerned, you are right the safe bet is to be as generic as possible that will let USCIS know that you have advertised to a large pool. The specific you are the higher your salary and the higher your chances to get audited .
USCIS goes by the SVP standards, but it all depends on which officer looks at your file and what mood is he in when your file lands on his queue. I have seen MS + 10 yrs get approved and have seen MS+1 yr get audited and denied.
For your salary you should be in the level 3 to be safe.
In IT field there are very few role that exceeds SVP 7 almost everything falls under SVP 7. 7 being the cieling .. Here is how it works
Bachelors degree - 4
Each year exp - 1 .
Master degree - 7
so if you put masters + 1 yrs exp you will be in SVP 8 and USCIS has the right to audit you quoting business necessity.. Masters + 0 is your safe bet. The only issue is you will have a large number of people applying for the job, and Yes you need to interview atleast 40% of the candidate applied. However you will have to reply to all candidates that have applied saying why you rejected them.
I hope I could shade some light towards your issue.
Good Luck
