San Francisco Rails Pay Rates?

Howdy.

I'm curious if anyone has a sense of what the typical Rails contract (W2) rates are for Rails developers in the San Francisco area. Assume the typical requirements of 2-3 years Rails experience, with 5+ years general development experience.

understand the cost of living in SF to be _much_ higher (some sites suggest it's nearly 200% higher than Austin, TX). Are they really paying SF Rails folks $80-100/hr? If not, "how do you people live!?" :slight_smile:

Thanks. I realize this is a bit off the norm for this group, but I know people here have answers to this question.
