The problem is that they use the national average revenue, but revenue varies greatly by city.

$92k seems pretty low for a San Francisco computer engineer. Actually I think even restaurant servers make more in SF than the rest of US.

The article claims that they localised the revenue:

> "After finding the average annual salary for each profession in each city"

Whether the numbers are reasonably accurate is another question though.
