Hi tripped6,

I found lots of information for you, and additionally, have furnished
links to a lot of information that you may find useful.

First things first:

Carreer Builder has a Salary Wizard:
http://tinyurl.com/cw9f
..."A typical Chief Operating Officer working in San Jose, CA earns a
median base salary of $434,194, according to our analysis of data
reported by corporate HR departments. Half of the people in this job
earn between $337,053 and $589,416..."

Don't forget to click on Bonuses and Benefits for the full picture.

You can start at the beginning and create the report yourself here:
http://careerbuilder.salary.com/

This is the same software that Hoovers Online uses. I tried to find
another Salary Wizard as good as this one, but virtually all the
reputable web sites use this data set.


I was able to locate more than one comparative surveys for you that
appear to corroborate the Salary Wizard:

"Business Week" has a Salary Survey in San Jose:
http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/salary/sb_sjose.htm


Silicon Valley - Salary Survey
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/special_packages/salary_survey/
At the bottom of that page, notice the link to: 

Compensation By Company
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/special_packages/salary_survey/3211261.htm
This is for letters A & B. There are links to the rest of the
alphabet. These links give detailed salary reports: exact figures by
postion; Total cash compensation, Gain on options, and Total
Compensation.

..."These tables present compensation for 807 executives among the
Silicon Valley 150 -- the largest publicly held companies in the area
based on sales in 2000. The information is taken from proxy
statements, the financial document prepared for a company's annual
meeting, for the 2000 fiscal year..."


PayScale.com has Real-Time Salary Information:

Scroll down for a list of reports.

This is a detailed report in book form that can be purchased. The list
of firms in the survey is here:

I found this in my search and thought I'd pass it along:

Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor 
http://www.bls.gov/ro9/cpisanf.htm

I found it here:

JobSmart
http://jobsmart.org/tools/salary/surv-gen.cfm
Lots of interesting salary reports, surveys in California, and related
links.


I hope you find this information useful. If I can be of further
assistance, please don't hesitate to ask for clarification --before
rating my answer... THANKS!!
