    Have you seen pay these days? Where are you getting 110k entry level?

    If it's an onsite position, it depends on living costs.

    Some people are claiming 3k for rent is the minimum in the area. Just north of Beverly Hills.

    That's half the salary, just for a studio apartment. Then there's another chunk for taxes and they're left with 1-2k for general expenses and living life.

    Salaries isn't a simple thing you can move from one area to another

    California has a minimum wage for software employees to be salaried and not pay them overtime (salaried exempt). It's about $123k. I've never seen an entry level position that didn't expect overtime, so $110k is actually low unless it's a part time internship.

    Also leaving that link there for anyone who might have just discovered their employer is doing wage theft and owes them a lot of money.

    I've worked at places with <50 people where the 2 IT people had "manager" titles, but they were just "the IT people" in practice - one handled user stuff, the other was focused on the client-facing infrastructure.

    Our lone HR person was also the "HR manager", we had a single "accounting manager", and a couple more like that. Some departments ended up expanding and the "managers" did end up with direct reports, but that's kinda just how small businesses work, this posting sounds a lot like that.

    "Manager" in this context generally doesn't mean someone who has people reporting to them, it means someone who manages the IT. It can absolutely be an early-career role. See also: equipment manager, facilities manager etc.
