What? OP was replying to an assertion that 150k is not “liveable” in NYC. Of course the median household income in the city is relevant to that.

That all depends on what you mean by livable, no?

Your mileage may vary, but as a professional of that standing, having invested substantial time and intellectual energy to master my profession, my social requirements, for my spouse, my children, my friends, where we go, what we do, are not going to be satisfactorily met by such an income level in New York City. This doesn't even have anything to do with personal preferences in such matters, but ultimately how one lives and provides for loved ones and the natural company one keeps.

Developers are not children. We are professionals and our profession is in fact one of the more highly demanding cognitive professions.

Please don't break the rules at the top of the thread. I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just there are two (or more) sides to every story and the hiring threads are no place to adjudicate these things. That's why we have that rule. We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36153433 .

And yet it's only my side of the story that's getting buried

The median household income in NYC is $70,663. We're talking about Manhattan mainly for this job, so let's double that. That's still less than the 150k salary, and this is a single person, not a household. I promise you, you're not going to be homeless at 150k.

I'm confused what you're even replying to

THIS is what we're discussing:

>> And that is more than livable, even in NYC.

> No, it's not.

(Aside here: you made a new account to argue against straw man arguments?)
