The entire US isn't Seattle or SF though.

They can recruit very good software engineers out of the Southeast & Midwest for under 170k just fine. It's still going to cost them 6 figures, but they are going to be able to hire good talent.

I will admit though, they're going to have trouble retaining the tippy top of the seniority ladder at 170k.
