- samspenc 9y ago+1 . I always see these comments about "developers in NYC make well over 200k at established companies" and I'm yet to see instances of this. AFAIK, only Google and Facebook have fairly sizeable engineering offices here and pay that much. Even the large financial institutions pay most of their engineers less than 200k, maybe around 150k. I've heard of "quants" (engineers / mathematicians) who sit at the trading desks making bank, but that was in the days of when trading actually made a ton of money, and I have to yet meet someone in person to ask them how much they made.
- ryandrake 9y agoEveryone on HN makes $300K, drives a Porsche and has a supermodel boyfriend/girlfriend. Look at every salary thread here, you’ll see it over and over. Self reported salary data is always going to skew high because of ego.
