This thread reminds me of one of my minor pet peeves with HN: a lot of people here repeatedly speak of SF and NYC salaries as if they were universal across the country and nobody would ever want to work anywhere else. It's not a big deal because most of the arguments here are relative and not dependent on specific numbers but rather differences. I also understand HN began as a place to discuss Silicon Valley startups. But still I think it would be nice if HN were generally more cognizant of salary variations across location.
