<p><a href="http://www.angellist.com/">AngelList</a>, the <a href="http://betabeat.com/2011/09/angellist-gains-prestige-as-it-becomes-a-facebook-for-startups/">Facebook for startups</a>, just did NYC job seekers in the tech sector a major solid. Today the company <a href="http://pandodaily.com/2013/01/29/angellist-makes-startup-compensation-trends-searchable-with-new-salaries-dashboard/">released</a> a <a href="https://angel.co/salaries">graphical breakdown </a>of the average salaries of tech companies, drawn from data collected through its jobs portal, which helps match startups with prospective talent. The information is quite revealing, and much more detailed than what you'd find on a site like GlassDoor.</p>
<p><!--more-->First thing's first: the average salary of a startup employee in Silicon Valley is $101,000, whereas those in New York average only (lol) $90,000. We probably shouldn't complain, though: there are a host of cities with lower average salaries than us, like Denver and Houston (though those cities have a much lower cost of living).</p>
<p><a href="http://pandodaily.com/2013/01/29/angellist-makes-startup-compensation-trends-searchable-with-new-salaries-dashboard/">According</a> to PandoDaily, the average salary for a dev across all the job postings is naturally higher than for other positions, at $93,000; for marketers it's slightly less at $92,000 and designers are earning $88,000 on average.</p>
<p>As for the NYC companies with the highest average salary: <strong>Stylecaster</strong> boasts an average salary of $176,000, so if you have any friends who work there, they better not even <em>think</em> about asking you to split the brunch bill. <strong>Rewind.me</strong>, <strong>Bonobos</strong> and <strong>Bookish</strong> dole out an average salary of $126k, while <strong>Venmo's</strong> average is $123k. Most jobs fall into the $80-90k range, with an average salary of $87,000: <strong>Fitocracy</strong>, <strong>Seatgeek</strong> and <strong>Skillshare</strong> all fall into this category.</p>
<p>It's worth noting that these averages are only based on job listings posted to AngelList, so if a company is only advertising developer positions on the platform, its average salary will probably appear higher than it actually is. Still, the tool is helpful both for the job seeking and the cripplingly nosy: you can also break down average salaries by role, like developer, or skills, like specific programming languages you know.</p>
<p>Now go, Betabeat readers. Tell your boss you deserve to be paid more! But once you get that raise, we hope you'll remember the little people.</p>
