I'm not really a fan of these types of posts. You can earn 6 figures in San Francisco or other expensive cities pretty easily as an entry-level employee, so this is just exaggerating people's expectations of the earning power of becoming a developer. Which will increase the rate of labor market saturation as people think they can earn a six figure salary as a developer in cities with modest costs of living.
- raddevon 8y agoI recently moved to Seattle, but I got my six-figure job in Knoxville, Tennessee. (See https://www.bestplaces.net/cost_of_living/city/tennessee/knoxville https://www.bestplaces.net/cost_of_living/city/tennessee/kno...) Not saying my experience is typical, but just wanted to put that out there. I didn't have to move to an expensive coastal city to get the salary. In fact, the opposite was true. The salary allowed me to move to the expensive coastal city which is where I wanted to live.
