That's a cost increase of $23,700 per year. Certainly not trivial (especially for a startup), but that's 1/5 of the cost of a junior engineer in a low cost-of-living market.

In low cost of living markets jr engineers are making much less than $118,500 in fact they make about half that in median markets.

But the all-in cost in terms of administrators, managers, healthcare, mentoring and employment taxes raises that quite a bit, probably closer to the 120k number than the 60k number.
