Looking at the BufferApp post, the salaries posted are well above those I hear about locally (in a medium-sized US city). Where should one look to find a job with comparatively high salaries (e.g., locations, industries, specialties, company types)? I think this information is common knowledge in certain circles, but I think it'd be wonderful if you would share your knowledge and experience in this area with HN readers more broadly.
I'd start with these companies.<p><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/17/the-top-25-highest-paying-companies-for-software-engineers-glassdoor/" rel="nofollow">http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/17/the-top-25-highest-paying-...</a>
Salaries are highly linked to cost of living.<p>NJ, NY, CT have higher salaries, I've heard Seattle is high and the San Fran is obviously higher.<p>Of course then you pay more for rent and all of that.
