> 600k year for 2-3 is only real in the silicon valley bubble.

Nope. You're forgetting the cost to the company is the burdened labor cost (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_burden), not just wages. Payroll taxes, benefits, office space and equipment, etc. can add another 30-40% to the cost of wages.

Im not forgetting labor cost. I would actually say payroll tax, benefits and office space are even higher in California than any European country.
