  These salaries for NY look high to me, and there’s almost no variation based on experience. Whereas in my experience hiring here, entry level is $60-80k and seniors command around $150k. Now, that’s for startups. Banks will pay twice that. I’m wondering what the medians look like - the means being displayed may be distorted by the finance and Google outliers. Edited to add: $60k is a middle class salary for a single person in NYC. (Though people who are unaccustomed to small apartment living / the idea of singles having roommates / the idea that middle class means having to compromise on some expenses will complain otherwise.) I wouldn’t want to try to raise a family of 4 here on that income, though. $130k is definitely upper middle class for a single person, but a family of 4 on that income is going to have to live way outside the hip areas of the outer boroughs in order to be able to afford housing.

  $117k for a family of 4 qualifies you for Section 8 housing in much of the Bay Area.
