Yeah, 6 figures USD as a minimum basically describes SV and NYC, and that's it.

[daman]

Seattle pay is in that same range, but I agree, a few coastal cities.

Fresh grads are getting 100k in Chicago as well

[joejerryronnie]

Summer interns are getting paid the equivilent of $100K in the bay area now.

[rurban]

Texas also.

[ilikehurdles]

No, I wouldn't even say Texas is close to 100k starting. Lower end of the bell curve is closer to 65-70k in Austin. Average (across all levels of seniority for software engineer) likely falls somewhere in the low 100s. Just basing this on a quick search and my personal experience working in Austin around 2012-2015.

[trashcan]

Were you working downtown?

[ilikehurdles]

No. But like I said just take a peek at any job site that lists aggregate salaries. Starting numbers in Texas are not at 6 digits.

[rurban]

They are in Houston and Dallas, in the proper industry as SW dev.
