What do you consider a “flyover” state? From the major cities I know that are not on the west coast, New York City, or DC, $125K is around the top for a “Senior Developer” and $145K is near the top for architect level skills who don’t have any direct reports.

$125K is near the top for a Senior Developer in Charlotte, SC, circa 2014 (flyover? Probably). Probably higher there now, and definitely higher in NYC or DC.

Same thing I’m seeing in Atlanta. I haven’t seen too much of a change since 2014.

$125 seems about mid or upper mid range for Sr Devs based on data from Salary.com. Architects can make over 170K on the top end. Not sure how recent your data is but there's a real crunch for talent up here these days.

It depends on the market. Atlanta for instance is showing $130K median and 144K st the 75%. No that’s not accurate.

But it’s also showing 141K at the 50% percentile and $159K at the 75% for a Software Engineer V. That’s more accurate.

Another data point for different cities....
