I don't think this is true. I live in Los Angeles and every place I've worked has paid something close to google/facebook dollars, and all the programmers I know have had a similar experience.

- jshen 14y agoHere is what the op said, "You really have to be working at Google or other big place or make it big in the start up area" I refuted that, then you are now making a different point than the OP. My advice, don't live in those places. I say this as someone who was born and raised in Virginia.
