California has a minimum wage for software employees to be salaried and not pay them overtime (salaried exempt). It's about $123k. I've never seen an entry level position that didn't expect overtime, so $110k is actually low unless it's a part time internship.

Also leaving that link there for anyone who might have just discovered their employer is doing wage theft and owes them a lot of money.

If it's an onsite position, it depends on living costs.

Some people are claiming 3k for rent is the minimum in the area. Just north of Beverly Hills.

That's half the salary, just for a studio apartment. Then there's another chunk for taxes and they're left with 1-2k for general expenses and living life.

Salaries isn't a simple thing you can move from one area to another

That's when you live in a van down by the river instead

I guess where I work, if you're on carpet you're 80-110k salary for jobs like purchasing, inventory etc not engineers or supoort. if you work in shipping or manufacturing you're around 65-85k depending on experience

The pay scale people have become accustomed to is absurd.
