But before the exodus of programming talent gets underway, it’s also good to look at the cost of living in popular regions. a high income can be saved by necessary expenses, as so costs a house in San Francisco on average (!) 1,471 million USD and throughout the state of California, the average house price is 684,800 USD.

In New York it is not much different. In Manhattan, the median price of a home (say, the price at which most homes are sold) is 1.858 million USD. In the worst neighborhoods (upper Manhattan), that median price comes out at 699,999 USD. In Boston it is slightly better but the median price is still at 710,000 USD.

Switzerland takes the crown on house prices

The average house price in Zurich-Switzerland’s software hub-was USD 3.3 million in the fourth quarter of last year. In third place in the ranking is Canada with an average salary of 71,193 USD. Toronto is the IT center there followed by Ottawa and Vancouver. Average house prices in those cities are $ 1,059 million, $ 607,631, and $ 1,042 million, respectively.

In the United Kingdom, a software engineer earns an average annual salary of $ 68,664. The average price for a lift is around 1,137 million USD. And Sweden closes the top 5 with an average salary of 66,750 USD. Malmö is the place of choice for startups and a home costs an average of 352,177 USD.
