SarcasmEludesYou

I like how you linked SF but said you're from CHI.

Nah, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers either. I just thought it was weird and kinda irrelevant posting salaries for somewhere you don't live and work. I didn't read that particular response where you said you lived in northern California. But I think you could have answered this question with much more clarity rather than coming off as posturing.

There's actually no mention of that in your original post. You just said you work for an agency in Chicago without mentioning where you actually live. But anyway, people that work in tech in the bay area know our wages are inflated compared to the rest of the country (because cost of living is also much higher). So linking salary info for this specific job market is misleading. Cmon man.
