The location matters; cost of living can make $100K look either really good or really bad.


It's not just location:

Telecommuting makes a huge difference: less child care, less gas, no unpaid commute time, etc.

Benefits: Is work paying for my gym? How good is the health insurance? How much vacation do I get? Is work keeping me stocked with tech books and sending me to conferences as needed, or is that on my own tab?


I will be taking into account all those factors, and equity offered too, but this was just a poll of raw salary data.
