I&#x27;m sorry but... if you were a senior software engineer in Sacramento (a metropolitan city) and asked for 200k at intel, hp, oracle, apple, etc., someone would quietly hang up the phone hahaha. A laughable amount is even closer to 150k if it wasn&#x27;t a tech giant ie. Sutter, Blue Shield, Proctor &amp; Gamble, PG&amp;E, Franklin Templeton, etc.<p>Lead, architect, principal... they may not hang up but I would expect a double take and a &quot;let&#x27;s be realistic.&quot;
