Those of us who don't live in San Francisco that have been job searching have found salaries average about $125k. Over here in the real world tech doesn't make that much money.

Also, it's crazy that anyone would complain about that salary. By any metric $125k is more than enough money for a decent living.

Incorrect. Most people I know in this industry never lived in SF and make well over that amount. Putting in some time on the West Coast is not a bad idea though - doesn’t have to be SF.
