- dunpeal 8y agoYou're an outlier. Congrats! Sounds like you jumped from a low-level sysadmin role to a senior devops role. That's a quantum leap and not comparable to what the average developer saw during the same timeframe.
- friedman23 8y agoHe's not an outlier. Salaries are simply insanely high in SF, it's the only reason I stay here.
- dunpeal 8y ago5x increase is an outlier no matter how you look at it. 5 years ago salaries in SF for an SWE were already around 150k base at least, won't you agree? So if GP was typical, you'd expect the a average base to be around $750k now. Obviously it's not. Overall SF is higher than most places, but maybe 25% higher. Not 2x higher, let alone 5x higher.
