Technology companies, as we all know, tend to spring up in major U.S. cities, acting as drivers of economic growth, and employing thousands of engineers, support staff, and, yes, sales representatives.  

‍

We were curious about which major metropolitan areas pay the most, and how much sales reps can expect to make if they live in (or decide to move) to a particular area, so we reached out to our friends at RepVue to get the deets (that’s short for details — we are cool and edgy over here).
