Re:Base salaries offered to software engineers in SF, NYC, and Seattle on Monday April 01, 2019 @04:35PM (#19547934)
The above data is only of engineers hired using TripleByte platform. I saw only a handful of open positions with Apple. The data is based on the type of companies uses the platform to hire which probably doesn't involve big paying companies such as Googles, FB, Uber etc

Re:Bay Area professionals indicted for H-1B visa fraud on Sunday March 26, 2017 @02:23AM (#13959510)
In bay area there are quite a handful of such firms which fake person resume and help them find out the job. What surprises me is that employer does catch the difference in experience while interviewing and bunch of positions are filled. These firms file h1b shown more experience than what a person does actually have and make good money out of such schemes :(

Re:Does It Make Sense for Programmers to Move to the Bay Area? on Wednesday December 14, 2016 @06:38PM (#13180832)
I have been in Bay Area for little over 3 years with a fairly stable company. The opportunities are many in all technical fields(pro) but again it comes with the cut throat competition(con). One has to compete with people from FB/Google or new grads who have mugged all DS questions. My interest to stay in Bay Area is with the hope I could be able to join one of the companies which will be Uber/Airbnb of tomorrow and gain great experience and $$$.
