- vthallam 10y agoEven better imagine houston where there is no state tax. There's no way one can pay 130K.
- wavefunction 10y agoThere are plenty of developers making 130k in Texas.
- mintyfresh 10y agoI'm having a difficult time imagining a scenario where an energy company in Houston or a tech company in Austin needs to search overseas for candidates with skills who aren't worth multiples of 130K/yr in value.
- frgtpsswrdlame 10y agoWhy? This is great for programmers in areas like KC.
- tetromino_ 10y agoAre there any programmers earning 130K in KC? Depending on where you are in the country, the new H1-B pay floor may be above the local pay ceiling for non-managerial positions.
- frgtpsswrdlame 10y agoI'm sure there are a few but isn't that the point? If all the H1B's are in CA/NY/WA maybe KC (and cities like it) will become more attractive to programmers as they raise their wages.
- X86BSD 10y agoI live in KC, 130K is a GREAT salary. I think almost all tech jobs top out at low 100's here. But that is a very good living here. Er..I mean... kansas city sucks. DONT come here. Stay away. There be dragons. Its polluted, crime ridden, and full of RSTS/E machines.
