It's weird to see articles like this not even mention the massive sampling bias. Most Seattle devs work for Amazon or Microsoft, whereas SF is a tech hub filled with startups and other low-paying opportunities.
- acchow 9y agoNot to mention the sampling bias of people who used the Hired platform.
- bgirard 9y agoAnd the fact they're only including base salary instead of looking at total compensation. Bonus and (public) equity would probably skew the numbers and thus change the conclusions drawn here. This kind of distortion makes the Toronto market seems a lot better compared to SF because it's not common to receive a large equity grant in Toronto.
