Gerald - I think you are confusing my post with Beavis - Entry level in NYC is about $140K. The joker I was talking about got $175K and I wouldn't trust him to shine my shoes. 'real programmers' get mid-200's and a substantial bonus on top of that. And you still can't make ends meet when a 2-bedroom apartment is $4K a month... What a town.

When I was working there I had a townhouse on central park west - nice, but almost $10K a month. That's why NYC turns into a treadmill - you quickly get into a lifestyle where a $25K per month burn rate seems normal, you're just sort of middle class at that level.

But then when I left new york and went to San Francisco I got another shock - NYC was cheaper (at least in 1989). Don't even think about Palo Alto unless you already scored big on that last IPO...
