Yeah, I know the math. That is not what I was surprised at. As a software engineer in Dallas, TX with similar experience to a new grad, $150k was a staggering number to see. Around this time in my life I was lucky to make $60k. At senior I made, maybe, $110k. Cost of living doesn't even begin to approach $100k between the two places. The reality of which makes me sad.
