Sorry for the rant but what do you offer? Your site doesn't load at all? How are you not a spammer? An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

All I get is an "Application Error"

This website is REALLY good at making everyone outside of San Francisco/NY really underpaid.

Don't forget that cost of living is different per state so while you may make six-figures in the Valley, you could live the same lifestyles with less in other states. Check out this calculator: http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliving/costofliving.htm...

I'm curious how that works for New York City. That calculator gives quite a range. For what I make in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, it says the equivalent is something like $110k in Queens, $120k in Brooklyn, and $160k in Manhattan (I don't remember the exact numbers).

From what I've read, New York has really good public transportation, so one could live in any of those areas and work in another of them reasonably. How does that affect what companies actually pay there? Are salaries in Manhattan actually higher in accordance with the Manhattan cost of living, or does the presence of nearby, cheaper, areas bring the pay down?
