Ask HN: What is an ideal salary for a web engineer in the Silicon Valley?
The cost of housing will definitely be more than double of what I am paying and there is also the additional state tax in California (almost 10%). I tried a bunch of the cost of living calculators but still cannot figure out what a decent salary would be.
If anyone could chime in, I would really appreciate it.
I would have liked to create a poll so feedback could be sort of anonymous but this throwaway account doesnt have enough karma.
(A $5k range reply would be great.)
Also, curious as to how long companies usually give you after sending an offer letter before you have to accept/reject it.
Thanks!
