> I really don't believe a person with that kind of experience would earn 300k a year in SV.

I just spoke with someone two years out of CS undergrad who’s starting at $350k TC at one of the big SV unicorns.

I'm 3.5 years out of CS undergrad, successful in my niche, receive good reviews at work. Graduated top 10% of my class and was hired before I ever graduated.

I make 78k in a medium cost of living US city where a 3 bedroom 2 bath house costs $450,000 1 hour away from work. The same home costs $700,000 within 20-30min of work.

Something overlooked a little bit is student loan debt many American devs start with. I have $50k in student loan debt myself.

We make more than in Europe, but most of us aren't drowning in money like people from SV would make you think.
