- frozenport 11y agoNope. In C++ land, you can get the same 130k salary at a 30 person company, that builds hardware devices.
- buckbova 11y agoA big part of salary is location, but there's plenty of 100k to 150k jobs out there. I never see anything over that advertised.

- swalsh 11y agoThe base is the same, but the equity might be worth significantly more.
- minwcnt5 11y agoGoogle/FB engineers make a heck of a lot more than 130k, that's pretty much base entry level before bonuses and equity grants.
- ryandrake 11y agoMaybe a few outliers, but not all or even most.
- ninjakeyboard 11y agolocation is the biggest factor. I'm in TO and a sr developer might make 80-100k. In NYC, the same role is more like 150k. In toronto at least, contract work roughly doubles your income but you don't get benefits or equity.
