This is the Chicago market though, which isn't that great for compensation outside of a handful of companies (I'm still getting recruiters contacting me offering ranges barely above $100k and acting like it's a respectable offer).
So there's a good chance you're still making more than me TC. I'm still making way less than most US-based salaries I see posted on HN.
- giantg2 5y agoPhilly market sounds similar.
- 0x0nyandesu 5y agoJust moved from Philly to Cali. I regret not doing it 10 years ago. Already have an offer 50% above what I made in Philly. The funny part is my W2 withholding went down! Philly taxes you so much and you get nothing for it.
- milkytron 5y agoYup. I worked in the Philly market for a few years (and another year if you count Wilmington). 90% of places I interviewed with while living there gave me insulting low offers, it made me question if I was actually being overpaid (I wasn't). Left for another city across the country about 4 years ago and have been getting much better offers (even accounting for the COL difference) at better companies.
