Out of curiosity, I looked at how much your company pays.

This doesn’t come close to what a mid level enterprise CRUD developer could make in Atlanta.

I'm from Atlanta, and $175k is pretty square with ATL ranges[1]. It's not a Google salary, but startup comp is always more equity weighted.

My bad, looking at the page from mobile it didn’t look like a salary range. I misinterpreted it. I just saw $125K.

That being said, I would hope that position is remote for $175K. I would have jumped on it when I was a pure software developer working in Atlanta. But working locally in SF for that amount?

If you can’t live comfortably on 175k in SF, you have a spending problem.

And according to the calculators I saw, it would be 46% more expensive than living in Atlanta. But we you can choose other metro areas that are not on the west coast for comparison where you could also make $175K as a senior

$145K is the median according to levels.fyi and 175K is around the 75th percentile.

According to salary.com, that’s the median for the highest level of IC in Atlanta.
