This graph is interesting for a few reasons:

1. The range is way off. The top of the range is $113k with someone with 15+ years experience making $101k? Where do those number come from? Salary.com has the median for a Software Engineer V where I am at $150k with 75th percentile of $170k and I'm in New Hampshire not SV (small suburban State north of Massachusetts / Boston)!

2. No Boston in the list of cities?

3. Using high heels as a symbol for woman. Really?

Edit: Apparently they changed the graphic so #3 is no longer relevant. Except for the fact I think it is relevant that they chose that symbol in the first place.

I know I'm not the first one in this thread to notice that (I upvoted the other post that said something) but I opted to include all my thoughts in one message even though there is another thread for #3. I mean... technically I'm not the first one to make point #1 either in this thread. I think some duplication of thoughts is OK.
