I work for a NYC startup that has hired Philly residents in the past - either remote or remote-occasional-commute. Geographic salary fences are falling, and falling quickly - may I suggest $95K is below-market? Heck, around here $95K is below-market for a good, fresh undergrad.

Yea, that seemed off base. I work about a 40 min. outside of Philly and the going rate in my group is $100/hr...with some guys negotiating more than that. Not suggesting that that is normal in the area, but half that for senior devs isn't either.
