As an American dev, you should check out other silicon valley salaries. After hearing what some folks there make 190k doesn't make me bat an eye.

    True, but Signal is choosing to hire such people. There's talent all over the world and all over the US. There's absolutely no need to only hire people from one highly expensive region.
