How accurate is stack overflow salary data? It shows US developer with 10 years of experience at around $140K. Why is there such a big difference with numbers I see here on Blind? https://stackoverflow.blog/2018/09/05/developer-salaries-in-2018-updating-the-stack-overflow-salary-calculator/
Blind numbers are for top 10 companies. If you include vast number of other software companies , you get a low median and average. Also, Blind numbers are on higher side as only high salary guys are sharing their numbers. Not everyone at Google or Facebook makes over 350k .

Number on Blind are bay area, seattle, and nyc numbers and the high cost of livingpushes these numbers higher. The average salary of $140k is good if you consider it outside of these 3 areas. Also salary is just 1 part of TC. Dont forget to add bonuses and stocks.
