According to your link, San Jose is #2, right behind Seattle, for software engineers as far as salary/CoL ratio. So it really doesn't get much better than Silicon Valley's insane cost of living. It's just like I said: the housing costs may be lower elsewhere, but the salaries are even lower so it isn't worth it. Seattle is the only exception, and it's not that much better.
- scarface74 9y agoI can personally tell you that salaries for your run of the mill enterprise senior softwares developer is between $120K and $145K in Atlanta and you can easily buy a house in the burbs with a good school system for less than $400k. From what I've seen, the same is true for at least the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
