This makes me want to cry. I'm below all but one of these entries. 30 years experience + full stack + dba. All because of where I live (small northern ontario town -remotism?) and likley ageism (57). I should be getting paid MORE because of where I live.
2. These salaries are likely for the Bay Area, where a 1br apartment can cost you $3k+, and your tax rate will be 35% (state + federal). It's not comparable to places with lower tax rates and lower cost of living.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is an important distinction. The salaries on this sheet seem low overall, and it's probably because they're new grads from bootcamp. Someone with 10+ years of experience should be demanding more than the average salary on this list.
You're kidding me. I'm in the UK, 10 years dev experience, BSc Computer Science. Every single salary in that list is higher than mine.
People say it's the balance between the cost of living and work,work hours, job security etc etc I say it's bs I couldn't care less if it were to work 65h/week and my savings grew. I don't even want to mention the impression that working for X company makes in someone's resume that will guarantee an nice paying position somewhere.
My personal opinion is that every company in Europe/UK is total shit when it comes to money, they won't care about the passion that new developers bring with them.
I want to say the investors are not here but in America but I don't want to lie to myself anymore.
How are all these engineers with 0-2 years experience making 100k+ ??
It'd be interesting to see a graph of how much additional compensation every additional year of experience gets you.
Also, how do I sort this dataset by column (eg. salary)?
I started as a fresh software engineer in Tokyo this year, and I'm making around $37k a year. I think that newbies earn about that much in Helsinki, Finland, too, where I'm originally from.
This is really data from bootcamp grads (the top of the spreadsheet says so).

anecdotal evidence from Facebook: if you transfer to London office instead of Bay Area, your salary gets slashed 20%
e.g.: 200k USD would equal (200 * 0.79 USD/GBP * 0.8) = 126k GBP?
I wonder if it is because salaries were set before the pound plummetted due to brexit.
For most companies, you at least get more vacation days in London, but i think facebook US already provides 21 business days, I would imagine facebook UK is the standard 5 weeks?
