Yes, but does everyone in his company hold the same position? As I look around my office space at the many different positions, $70,000 (roughly $38,000 adjusted for cost of living differences) starting would be on par for some building staff, low-balling for some business staff, laughably low for the dev staff (but worth it with good benefits and some desperation), and a flat out no for some other positions. $38k is the median average in my area, but tech is in its infancy here. If this place does have the tech boom that so many are pushing for, then the median average (based on current market rates) is going to shift upwards by a nice chunk of change. As such, it would seem as if other industries are being underpaid if the only metric is median income.
