It's not always that simple. Often major cities will have more c#/java/enterprise jobs because they're the offices of big companies with big complex needs whereas regional areas and smaller cities will have more php/ruby jobs. So a direct salary comparison is useless because it's not like for like.
- scarface74 8y agoBut why would you want to limit yourself to those jobs? Even if you don’t have a desire to love in the city center of a major metropolitan area, there are always the burbs and the cost of living vs salary is still excellent almost anywhere besides the West coast and NYC or DC. If you are an average C#/Java/Node developer, companies will be lining up to give you a much better paying job.
- flukus 8y ago> But why would you want to limit yourself to those jobs? You aren't limiting yourself to those jobs, you're constraining yourself to a geographical area (there may be any number of good reason for this) and optimizing your learning path for the jobs available in that area. Even if it is sub-optimal in the costs/salary sense, there is much more to life.
