Hello all,

I've been working with a Flash developer as an assistant for 14 months, setting up Fla files, organizing photos, optimizing images. Now I'm to the point I can code some decently complex stuff, like photo galleries to full websites. I can't do XML and video stuff, yet though. But throw me a PSD and you'll have a pretty cool, smoothly animated site. I can pretty much pump anything out without error, but it's not going to be ultra dynamic or anything. Right now I'm at the point of building fluid layouts that resize depending on the users resolution, then loading different elements in depending on importance, placing them, then moving them when someone maximizes their window or whatever... I'm pretty good at Frame animation too.

Anyways, we're doing good (just did Marilyn Mansons site) and we have plently of business. I'm having my review tomorrow and I'm unsure of what to expect. Right now I'm making like 33k a year without any benefits, so hopefully I will be getting a decently large raise as I've improved my skill ALOT, and have constantly became more helpful. I want to be a developer like my boss, not a kid assistant anymore. The thing is I'm really not confident in myself, so I'm looking for a ballpark on what someone of my level (intermediate) should be making. There's of course other factors, as my drive is 80 miles every day, and again...no healthcare.

Maybe I'm just writing this because I'm unconsciously rehearsing, but what do you all think?
