I live in MI and have had several friends go to U of M. I really question that "10 minute commute to work". When college season starts AA gets really crowded and commute times lengthen considerably. AA is one of the most expensive cities in MI, but it's still much cheaper than SF / NYC.
Most average developer positions in MI are around 60 - 80k for juniors, 100 - 120k for seniors.
This position might be great for someone who wants to complete a master's program, oftentimes colleges will offer free tuition as part of your comp.
- Tehchops 7y agoYea. Also affordable housing on that salary means you will not be living near anything desirable. Essentially means country living and car ownership... not the cheapest thing in Michigan.
- leesec 7y agoLol. Lived comfortable on 52k a year near Detroit. Was definitely near a bunch of desirable stuff. 68k you'd be low key ballin' Yes you do need a car.

- whalesalad 7y agoCommuting in and out of A2 is pretty trivial. It’s not pleasant but you’re making it sound like it’s a big deal. I used to do it a few times a week from Royal Oak.
