To all who say Boston, NY, etc have higher paying jobs than SD, it might only apply to only some industry. Here’s what salary.com is saying regarding average wage a Sr. Software Engineer make:
San Diego: 74-92k
Boston: 78-96k
NY: 82-102k
SF: 82-102k
SJ: 83-102k
I don’t see SD being that much lower than those other areas. It’s 5% less than Boston and 15% less than NY, SF, SJ. Cost of living in NY, SF, SJ is also more than SD, so I don’t see how SD is being paid much worse than other area.
