Cost of living makes a big difference. What I get paid is low on most surveys, but is a good amount for the area. My commute is only 7 minutes. Hard to beat that without telecommuting.

>Yeah they pay what seems like big money compared to Sacramento but they're in Pleasanton (SF Bay Area) where the cost of living is through the roof. Our marketing manager used to commute there from sacramento every day, he siad depending on traffic it was 1 1/2 - 4 hours one way. Anyway I got out of the Bay Area 3 years ago and don't want to go back.
