From AI to cloud computing to the Internet of Things, the technology sector is hot and its need for fresh talent is only getting hotter. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer and information technology jobs are expected to grow at an above-average 12% from 2014 to 2024. Developers and computer systems analysts, in particular, are among the 20 occupations projected to create the most new jobs overall.
As more people look to build their careers in tech, Comparably took an in-depth look at which positions pay the most at the start. The results come from the anonymous insights of nearly 4,000 employees at small, mid-size, and large public and private tech companies in three of America’s major tech hubs: New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The full methodology is below.

$90k in NYC is about the poverty line. You can't even own a parking space at that income.
These seem low to me, but I guess they're entry level. I've only visited the three metropolitan areas mentioned, but living around even Chicago, those would be tough salaries for a single dude. You'd have to live in a rough neighborhood in the city or a "decent" suburb with train access around my parts. If you had a spouse and no kids then it's obviously a little easier if they worked. Non-working spouse and kids, you're not going to live in Chicago without dodging bullets with most of those salaries.
