IME if location is a factor, it's usually a different of 10-15%, so it's not like you're making $200k in SF and $80k in Ohio. More like 200k in SF and 180k in O

IME if location is a factor, it's usually a different of 10-15%, so it's not like you're making $200k in SF and $80k in Ohio. More like 200k in SF and 180k in Ohio. YMMV of course.
- throwaway567855 5y agoI think it can range to a lot more than that. I make 400k as a senior eng in a big tech company in the Bay Area with 6 years of experience. I don’t think I’d make 340k-360k in low cost of living areas.
- notJim 5y agoI'm speaking (from experience) about working remotely for big tech companies, not working for local companies. Based on the levels.fyi reference, I assumed that's what the parent post was referring to.
- steverb 5y agoYeah, you'd be looking at 80 - 100 here in TN. You might be able to get 150, but if you only have 6 years of experience you probably wouldn't be considered senior here either.
