Sorry for the vagueness. SF/NYC is indeed the extreme, from what i've seen, a mid-experienced programmer (Backend , embedded C), 3-4 years in industry, might get something like 150K yuan on average, and up to 250K yuan if you are a jedi, per year.. Which is around 20-40k USD. So quite low in general.
