SN Member McGruber points us a study by TriNet that provides (buzzword alert!) 'cloud-based human resources services.' The study concludes that Austin is the place to go.
From the article:
"Austin ranks Number 1 in the nation when it comes to offering the largest tech salaries that have been adjusted for cost of living expenses, such as housing, groceries, utilities and other necessities.
The seven major tech hubs, ranked by cost of living adjusted average salaries:
1. Austin: $105,000
2. Atlanta: $103,000
3. Denver-Boulder: $98,000
4. Boston: $79,000
5. Silicon Valley: $78,000
6. Los Angeles: $70,000
7. New York: $56,000"

I was left asking the same question. So I went searching and found this:e at0214.pdf [trinet.com]

Which then made me go hunting for a cost of living calculator, because Seattle wasn't in the report./ [cnn.com]

Dang! If Austin wasn't in Texas, it would be tempting.
