Depending on where he or she is working from, you don't need a ~SF Bay Area to enjoy the same quality (if not better) of life.

- byoung2 9y agoFor reference, I live in the suburbs of Los Angeles so prices are lower than in the Bay area. I make $200k and my wife makes $100k working part time as a registered nurse. Flexible schedules mean we can spend lots of time with our daughter and travel quite a bit.
- nickthemagicman 9y agoYou make 200k as a developer?
- byoung2 9y agoSenior developer with experience as a former director of engineering, but yeah, $199k last year, tracking for $205k this year.
- nickthemagicman 9y agoNice job! Good to know it's atleast possible to break the 120k-ish mark.
- SubuSS 9y agoSoftware engineer starting salaries in companies like Amazon/Google/FB etc are close to 100k or more. So breaking that mark as an engineer is very much possible.
- senatorobama 9y agohe's a contractor, it's different.
- byoung2 9y agoI was at $155k as a W2 software engineer at my last company...that seemed to be a ceiling for engineers in Los Angeles. I had to become a director of engineering to get to $175k.
