If you were going strictly by geographical market standards you could have a $200k new graduate in SFBA reporting to a 15 year veteran EM making, hmm, $120k or so in Chicago, but since nobody can tolerate that, that EM gets offered $250k.

"Are there enough engineers from SFBA companies for this to matter nationally?" There are approximately 3 million software engineers in the US and approximately, finger to wind, 300k work for AppAmaGooBookSoft alone, and that number increases by 50k per year.

Nope Drs are supply limited by med school & residencies. More like lawyers with a bimodal distribution of salaries - a big lump at a high competitive number for the best / most credentialed, and a wide normal distribution for everyone else.
