I know a few who work for mainstream US and CA companies and they all earn $100K+ per year (of course they have to pay taxes on that...) even after only being there a year or so. Of course, if you take someone less experienced or desperate for a job, you can easily get them for less than half of that, but then you may run into losing them or the other hazards I outline above.
