Reverse the math from London at $80K. NYC: $69K, SF: $52K Both of which are far less than what a senior level flash dev should be making in this market.
It doesn't work that way. You don't spend all your salary on rent, food and restaurants. Computers, cars and so on typically cost about the same as elsewhere in the country. And don't forget you (hopefully) don't actually spend all of your salary, but save some for retirement, which could be anywhere. Also, the page you linked to links to another study, where London is only at 100.5 (NYC: 100): <http://www.citymayors.com/economics/expensive_cities2.html> Maybe London is full of qualified Senior Actionscript Developers who just don't feel like moving to NYC. Who knows. Mark On 12/21/06, Steven Sacks | BLITZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
