The question we have to answer though is why there's no middle ground. It seems like we have a ton of middle grounds between 'ML engineer at Netflix in SV' and 'Frontend developer for H&R Block in KC.' I see three possible gradients in those descriptions alone: specialization, company and location.

- ska 6y ago> The question we have to answer though is why there's no middle ground. Again, this isn't what bimodal (or multimodal in general) means. There can be lots of middle ground, it just doesn't end up with a single mode. To turn this around the other way, is there a reason that we would imagine a unimodal or even normal distribution for salaries here? If so, why?
