即使把湾区令人咋舌的生活成本计算在内，湾区软件工程师的收入仍远高于美国几乎任何其他地方的同侪。
Software engineers in the Bay Area still earn far more than their peers almost anywhere else in the US, even after accounting for the region's eye-watering cost of living.
Levels.fyi的最新数据显示，湾区软件工程师的总薪酬比按就业人数加权的全美中位数高出77%。按当地物价调整后，差距有所收窄，但湾区工程师仍高出53%。
Recent data from Levels.fyi found total compensation is 77% above an employment-weighted national median. Adjusting for local prices narrows the gap, but Bay Area engineers still come out 53% ahead.
该分析采用联邦就业数据来反映软件工程师的工作地点分布，而不是仅依赖人们在Levels.fyi上提交薪资的地点。
The analysis used federal employment counts to help account for where software engineers work, rather than relying solely on where people submit their pay to Levels.fyi.
西雅图经调整后也仍远高于平均水平，而波士顿和华盛顿特区等城市一旦计入生活成本，其大部分优势便不复存在。下图显示了按当地物价调整前的薪资差异。一个重要提醒：这一生活成本比较并未考虑州税和地方税的差异。
Seattle also remains well above average after the adjustment, while cities such as Boston and Washington, DC, lose most of their advantage once living costs are factored in. The chart below shows the pay differences before adjusting for local prices. One important caveat: The cost-of-living comparison does not account for differences in state and local taxes.
这些数字同样基于Levels.fyi上的提交数据，因此可能会过度偏向于人们喜欢炫耀薪资的地区，无论那是哪里！点此。
These numbers are also based on submissions to Levels.fyi, so they could over-index toward areas where people like to brag about their pay, wherever that is! here. Reach out to me via email at abarr@businessinsider.com
