According to salary.com a systems architect in Dallas has a median income of $118k base salary.

If $140k was your base, that's good for the area, roughly in the top 10-15% eyeballing it from the salary curve.

Here's mine... Base pay: $127k Real pay: $156k My location: Orlando Employer location: Phoenix Weeks vacation: 6

I'll second this. I live in Dallas (130k base 30k incentive - Informal "full stack" development) and talking to head hunters 120k feels like what the market is at the moment.

Thanks for the exact numbers that really helps.

I will say those numbers on websites are lowered by the vast number of H1-B’s.

Also Indeed is rolling out a salary estimate tool and they’ve had companies call in to complain the estimate is too low and scaring away candidates lol.
