Ask HN: What is an ideal salary for a web engineer in the Silicon Valley?

Indeed.com has some pretty good visualizations of such salary rates which are based on the rates that companies who are hiring publish, or that people employed through their site confirm.

Developers are in high demand right now in the valley. Depending the type/size of company, your exact skill set and the role you are looking for, you could expect somewhere between 100k - 140k. This obviously will vary on a lot of factors, but that is a general ballpark.
Thanks, I was pretty confused and your advice definitely helps. I realized I was pretty vague about most aspects -- so this is just what I was looking for.
been wondering ... how's the job market compare for bizdev types in the valley & SF?
The cost of housing will definitely be more than double of what I am paying and there is also the additional state tax in California (almost 10%). I tried a bunch of the cost of living calculators but still cannot figure out what a decent salary would be.
If anyone could chime in, I would really appreciate it.
I would have liked to create a poll so feedback could be sort of anonymous but this throwaway account doesnt have enough karma.
(A $5k range reply would be great.)
Also, curious as to how long companies usually give you after sending an offer letter before you have to accept/reject it.
Thanks!
