Yes, the salaries I've seen bandied about for SV developers are absurd. That a new grad in SV can out-earn a seasoned dev located elsewhere was never sustainable. People will point out that the rent is absurdly high too, and maybe it is, but I'd also wager that these employees are renting from colleagues higher up who approve these salaries because they know they'll get a large cut.
