Just out of curiosity, what exactly does a "programmer analyst" do?
Someone who does both programmer and business analyst duties.
Are you asking about geographic location? San Diego
Are you sure you dont mean Technical Analyst or Systems Analyst?
no, the surface area measurement of your ass. wtf. what else would it mean? *sigh*

Programmer Analyst in Seattle can be anything from $60,000-115,000.
sounds contradictory. analyst almost implies experience required.
wrong. for example, if you are fresh out of college and trying to work in wall street, you're job title is financial analyst or some other type of "analyst" and all you do is push paper and fetch the coffee.

Programmer Analyst is a real title and function. The programmer analyst on my team is embedded in the business group, generally picks his own projects and custom-codes applications and improvements to existing applications. He collects all his own specs, works directly with the business owners for requirements and testing, and understands the core functions and needs of the business unit very very thoroughly so he frequently can identify and design solutions without even needing to work with a business side contact.
I do not doubt its a real title/job role (even though Ive never come across one); I was questioning why a Programmer Analyst would undertake build and BA duties.
Im a bit surprised you have someone in your team who is responsible for (without going too granular e.g. Usability):
Defining Business Requirements functional/non-functional requirements
High-Level Design
Detailed Design
Technical Specifications
Build/code/development
Unit testing
System testing/system integrating testing
Performance testing
User acceptance testing / operational acceptance testing
Seems like a jack of all trades role to me.
To cover the above, in my team, I have a Business Analyst, Domain Architect, IT Consultant, Technical Analyst, Application Developer(s), Test Manager, Test Analyst, Configuration/Environment Manager. These are just my key resources/SMEs.
Good luck getting something with all the experienced people out there who are out of work.
