There's probably a huge difference in salary ranges for someone with minimal experience and someone with lots of experience, and this isn't even counting if you're really good or just mediocre. Personally, with 10 years of experience, if I was to move to Chicago right now, I would expect to make more than $114k due to the highish cost of living. There's no way in hell I'd move anywhere to make $74k, let alone $62k per year.
