GV, regarding CA wages

Yes I knew when I wrote that, that somebody would say 55K was a huge salary for a NCG. But you have to keep in mind it costs $1500/mo for a 1 BR apartment here. This is the highest cost of living in the country (still) I believe, so wages are indeed higher.

I know that when I first started at Oracle, over 10 years ago and during the last recession- no bubble etc.- top university graduate students were getting about 50K here, THEN. So other wages have gone up, executive salaries have certainly gone up, pretty much everything is more now than then..... except engineering salaries. Consequently there is a "shortage".
