I know that silicon valley pays a fair bit, but cost to live there is also rather high. Is that true for most jobs across the US? I know developers in the US who are starting around similar salaries to myself, or lower in some cases.

I agree with the rest of your points. Was hoping this to be more interesting than it was.

Cost of living is high in Vancouver and Toronto unfortunately. It doesn’t look better when salary is divided by COL, it looks worse. In the states, you’ll get a better deal pretty much wherever you live.

I'm talking gross salary offers are in the 2.5-3.5 range for me. Not factoring in QOL.
