If you're in some sort of "web developer" ghetto, maybe that's possible. If you have a software engineering job title, you can get over $100k entry level in Seattle, even if your actual job duties involve web development. This is total comp, not base.



Microsoft offers $72k (or used to) for entry-level SDE.

Over $100k for entry-level around Seattle seems too much unless that company is printing good money every milliseconds.


I don't think that MSFT figure is accurate at all anymore. From what I understand from some of my peers, they start somewhere around $85-90k now, base salary. Glassdoor more or less agrees, for whatever they are worth.


"Used to" are the key words. Check Glassdoor. It's gone up in the past few years.
