Is the salary competitive?

Anyone with a current significant salary in tech who lives in a major metro will make $183.5K.

The salaries adjust by location, pick your location from https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries...

This is the SF area table: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries...

The links seem to be a bit out of date. Says for year 2020 and has a % increase for 2023? $170,800 is the top number in the chart for 15-10.
