Possibly because Australians can get an E-3 visa easily? That would mean AU salaries would have to rise to stop them simply jumping on the next plane to S.F.

New Zealand, mixture of salary and freelance, for domestic companies. Excludes employer superannuation contributions and non-cash compensation (not high).

The USD comparison is not very useful as NZDUSD has varied wildly in this time, betwen 0.4 and 1.0, currently 0.65.

I've never worked more than 40 hours a week on average as an employee, the $200k+ years are where I worked more hours as a contractor usually.
