Average income in tech-hub area in 2007 was: $85,355 for "Software Developers"[0]

Salary for developers that we discuss on HN seems to be in the region of $250k base, but that's not factoring in TC- which seems to be the bulk of income for the last 5 years. It's not unheard of around here to hear people talking about pulling in half-million if they are ex-FAANG. Which is nearly everybody these days.

I don’t think it’s nearly everybody these days, but that it may seem like that if you happen to be in FAANG-heavy local bubble.
