Meaning I could replace my income at another company without having to move.

Two points: 1. I'm not an IT guy. I build the back-end systems for a website that is used by millions. A far cry from running servers for a branch office, etc. 2. The guy in Bangalor CAN'T do my job. It's been tried. I have made a TON of money doing haz-mat duty cleaning up the messes made by off shoring.

Depends on the company. And granted I don't know what your company does. But the difference IMO is product vs. in-house. The software I work on IS our product. Not something that supports operations, etc. Writing code that is going to a server farm that is responsible for collecting the $400M / year in revenue is very different that writing code for the in-house accounting system.

LOL, touche. I like your feistiness. Well, I'm sorry you couldn't find your dream job in Utah, FM. Maybe it's more competitive for the high paying jobs here, and it's easier in Texas. |

I think there might be a principle behind FM's rant. Some people sacrifice money for lifestyle in their careers. I would be making a lot more if I went into investment banking or consulting, but it wasn't the life I wanted. But I think people make those same lifestyle decisions in other states, not just Utah. And a more standard job like business or IT--I'm not sure it's gonna be that different Utah to another place apples to apples job. |

However, you can also do well in Utah. I live here and my income tax will be well into 6 figures. |
