Ask HN: What is a good salary in X city?
Hi there!
Recently, I talked to a bunch of developers in different parts of the US and around the world.
Some developers are happy with $100k salaries, and others need a minimum of $200k because of the city they choose to live in.
Could you please answer the question by naming your city and the ideal salary you require.
For Example:
Berlin, $80k
This will give me an idea of what salary is a good salary for a certain city, because $100k in Boulder is not the same as $100k in NY. At least, that is what I've learned so far.
Thank you very much in advance :)
