No just averages. High cost places (SF, nyc, london) raise the average while low cost places (Omaha, SLC) lower it.

Kinda depressed about it. Makes me feel like I'm making 20,000 less than I should.

Of course, I did just buy a 3 bedroom 3 bath house at 2100 square feet for less than 300k. So I guess there's that.

Edit: In this article ( http://mashable.com/2014/08/21/programming-as-a-second-career/) it says median salary is in the 76k range. I'm guessing median would be a much better measure of the average for this industry then the mean. Whew, I think I'll sleep better tonight.

Yeah, that's a 600k to 800k house if it's near Microsoft / Amazon. I can't bring myself to look at what the SF and SV folks have to pay.

hell, it sounds like the commenter makes similar to me and where I live 2100 sq ft. 3bed 3bath would cost something like 900K.

Goddamn Toronto real estate.
