Nope. Our app team is distributed across the USA and we've been paying $80k from the start and several of those folks have earned raises that have brought them up to $100k+ in under two years. Every tech startup I've spoken to has similar patterns.
> Also, it's not normal to get 60% raises your first and second year in the workforce.
The tech industry is not a 'normal' sector.
> More likely the student will be earning $42.5K the third year if they stay at the same job.
Nope. I've interviewed many non-valley based startups and they've verified they will pay $40k for an entry-level, young developer.
