I'm comparing to Southern California; I doubt the Bay Area has 65% higher cost of living.

I'm not sure if it does or doesn't, but the salary of $155k is normal in the SF area.
Check out AngelList's salary tool: https://angel.co/salaries . Median salary for 'Developer' is about $120k. More for a backend developer.
GlassDoor gives an average salary of $120k for the same area: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/san-francisco-engineer-sa...
Cost of living is at least that much higher. Compare rent in San Diego (say, clairemont) vs Rent on the peninsula at equivalent house size. Easily 100% more.
