#2I don't know if I would put too much trust in this list. From what I know about NYC salaries - 10 years freelancing at all kinds of companies, from startups to corporate behemoths - the numbers seem about $20k low, on average. PHP, Ruby and mobile devs that I know personally make $120+ (both freelancing and full time), more on Wall Street. Sales engineers make significantly more.

#3Yes, those numbers seem low to me, especially for NYC.

#4For those of you who live in New York City, what sort of standard of living do these salaries represent? Would one be comfortably be able to lease a 3 bedroom apartment within walking distance of work, in a neighborhood with good schools?

I rented a nice 1 bdroom within walking distance from work for 3000$
yea ouch.
I now rent a nice but tiny 550 sqft 1bdroom for 1900$
3 bdroom apts are extremely expensive.
however the trains are really good, so "walking distance" isn't that important

3 bedroom would likely be +5k for what you describe in Manhattan.

Realistically, no. If you have no debt, don't mind 2 beds instead of 3 and not above taking the MTA to work, you could scrape by.

Three bedroom apartments only exist in television programs about New York.
