It must really suck to be a senior software engineer making less than 95k knowing that there are probably some new grads that get an initial offer of more than that. Wait, really? By "some" we're talking "very, very few" right? Surely salaries haven't come that far since when I graduated.

I have heard from a friend at Zynga that highliy-skilled grads are being hired straight out of college on 100k or slightly more.

#25IMO the results for all Bay Area cities (SF, Palo Alto, Fremont, Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mtn View) should also be merged into a single result.

#26I could be wrong, but I believe that Alpharetta is part of the Atlanta metro. It's result should be merged into Atlanta. IMO the results for all Bay Area cities (SF, Palo Alto, Fremont, Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mtn View) should also be merged into a single result.
And in addtion to the bar area all the metro's should be merge. (maybe with a dropdown so you could see the cities and their suburbs individually)

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ouch, you're right.. I really screwed up there. There's a wage_rate column and a prevailing_wage_rate and I should have used the former.. I'll try to fix this up asap.
statistics is hard. There is a good field description list out there... also it might be interesting to look at the status of applications. For example are there any applications where the wage rate was below the prevailing wage and were accepted? What is the relationship between % over prevailing wage and acceptance of the application? That might lead to a useful model.

#29Some context/theorizing about Edison, NJ. Edison is a largely Indian town. In particular, it attracts many people who don't want personal exposure to the US or non-Indians - such a lifestyle would be difficult anywhere besides Edison or Jersey City. They are only in the US to earn USD. My theory as to why Edison wages are so low: most of the Edison companies are low end bodyshops - if you need a warm body with J2EE,…

#30Also with something like Tech, there happens to be a large amount of skilled talent outside the US.
