Hmm, I don't think you know Colorado too well. Senior level dev makes about 2-3x of OP.

I think you've missed the point. He was comparing cost of living rather than salaries.

Sounds like the company is paying HCOL salary in a LCOL state then.

Colorado isn’t even comparable to California in terms of cost, it’s also a state that most companies pay a national salary band for since it’s not considered a high cost state.

> LCOL state

Aspen is more comparable to SF costs than Sacramento is.
