When I was in the US working first at Apple and later at Livescribe, I was essentially breaking even on salary vs. cost of living.

Moving back to Berlin, I went part time because it was sufficient.

Not sure about break-even, but Apple notoriously underpays relative to the rest of SV and the caliber of work/time expected.
