Software Engineer in San Francisco Bay Area median base salary $120,000/yr Salesperson in Houston, Texas median base salary $29,000/yr Hmm, neither of these make me feel especially good about income potential available currently. The software in SF number also seems much closer to what I would expect to see in Austin or Houston, and I would expect a good experienced engineer can pull closer to $150k+ in those cities.
