Notice that the highest paying job by far is not a tech position. It's a management position. 'Nuff said.

$90k in NYC is about the poverty line. You can't even own a parking space at that income.
5. Product Manager
New York $177,110

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.

Forgot this part. I agree, $90k in NYC would be rough. It would be rough in any decent part of the top 5 major metros across the country.

How much education and experience is required? A Master's Degree and/or 2+ year's experience is not entry level, btw.
