My first programming job in SF paid $60k/year 10 years ago. I'd like to thank big tech for driving salaries up.

In 2015? That seems low for an entry-level job at a startup, then. $60k is more like 2010.

It was low. I got a bump to 90k that year, then 130k when I jumped companies, which I thought was a mind boggling amount. Do entry level devs even get out of bed for $130k these days?
