This isn't 2013 Silicon Valley Developer Salary Survey.

There are a ton of developers outside of Silicon Valley. I'm sure there have already been plenty of studies done focusing on the Bay Area specifically if that's all you care about, but a nationwide survey is helpful for indicating the state of the industry at large, including non-tech hubs where VC funding is not nearly as available.

For a nationwide survey, I have to say these median salaries are actually pretty high. Very, very few careers requiring only a bachelor's degree can boast these numbers taken across the country.

80k as a US Average translates to about 120k in San Francisco, adjusted for cost of living. According to the startup jobs on angellist, SF is paying average salaries (adjusted for cost of living): https://angel.co/salaries

PS: Where are these 200k salaries? I have 7 years of experience and would happily switch for <redacted> more money each year.

Unfortunately, we're lumped in with "Pacific", so all those developers in San Bernardino and Sacramento are dragging us down.

Silicon Valley isn't a long term investment. I don't see the people living there to settle down in the area.
