I’m seeing salaries at most start-ups for engineers are up 10%+ in 2011 due to supply not meeting demand. Please take a look at the latest graph. January 2008 is the baseline, set at “0”. As you can clearly see, pent up demand has rather huge, with nearly 2-straight years of monthly demand that was 2X, 3X and 4X that of January 2008.
Supply has increased for top flight engineers. I've seen an increase in pings from my candidate clients, and I've seen multiple offers being made in my last 5-placements over the past 3-months.

About the SF Bay Area Engineering Jobs Index
The original SF Bay Area Engineering Jobs Index was created from weekly hiring listings e-mailed out by www.baychi.org. The data are a summation of the weekly postings, summarized monthly.
My latest Job Index is based on New Job requests from my clients. So, this represents real jobs being offered at early stage Internet startups in the SF Bay Area.
Compensation Package Database
Based on my placements during the past several years, I am able to update my clients with compensation package data. If you would like to compare your compensation package with those in my database, please feel free to contact me. My services are free to my engineering clients.
