I like that you can view people's salaries. It gives us a rare look at how much people make. I can only say that I wish all salary data was public, like it is in some European countries.

I'm not a developer and I think the question makes sense. I would have given a similar response to what amag wrote, although I would have skipped this bit: "Most likely you'll spend weeks looking for a multitude of weird bugs

I have direct experience with getting offers in an area with cost of living similar to Omaha. With no negotiation, the pay was the same as in the high cost of living area where I chose to live. I don't have direct experience with Phuke
