In the expensive tech hubs you can expect to pay at least $150k/year in salary for a competent engineer. Add all the admin overhead and other per-employee expenses (1.5x multiplier?) and 350k/year doesn't buy you anywhere near two full-time engineers. But sure - given a tech-heavy environment, $30k/month for a competent, senior engineer with in-demand skillset sounds like it's in the ballpark.
