DC area. SF Bay of course. Atlanta/Birmingham and Austin are both markets I've heard of. All of the above for fields -- I know web devs making well over 100k.

DC area. SF Bay of course. Atlanta/Birmingham and Austin are both markets I've heard of. All of the above for fields -- I know web devs making well over 100k. The more specialized you go the higher you go salary wise. Lots of companies. Defense / gov is huge in DC area. Can't speak to out of the US, it seems that salaries are significantly lower. I think the 200k+ salaries are probably limited to very senior engineers in regular companies, or people in the FAANG companies -- note that those companies are not exclusively in the SF Bay area.
