Java/.Net salary

Hi,
I'm in Houston Texas. I've been doing java and .net for 7 years. For .NET I work mostly in Windows Form to connect to a Java web services. In Java side I have lead project in Struts,Spring, Hibernate as well as Flex. I could easily say I'm a competent developer in Java and .NET.

My salary now is at 72K plus bonus. I only got 2 bonuses in the last 3 years (avg about < 3% each). I feel underpaid and unhappy about my salary after I checked with Indeed.com. I talked to my manager but he said I would have to wait til year end review.

Now, is 72K the decent base salary in Houston, with my skill set? Should I start looking for a new job in case this company is ripping me off?

Thanks geeks,

php nowadys is around 25-30k per year

Java developer = 35k-50k

.net developer = 40k-60k

so you are overpayed.

Programmers are garbage anyway nowadays. Marketing people are the king!
or sales.
