It was mostly sarcastic. I don't actually believe it's bad, that's just "average market rate" for senior/mid level engineer. Roughly translated, 250k in SV is 120k in the Midwest. Housing issues aside.

I'll believe this only insofar as $120k in the Midwest means you are "set" in the sense that you can max out your retirement, buy a home, have nice cars, etc. and basically live on autopilot from a financial sense.
