Im not from the USA, so I wonder what "Twitter paying $120K on average" actually...

In the major urban areas (Cali, NY) about 50% (with quite a big margin - more correct would be 'between 40 and 55%), excluding health care insurance.

(I'm not in the US but I have an academic interest in comparative tax pressures, and that of the US comes up quite often).

Where do you think are hot spots with a good supply of tech jobs, where taxes on the individual is low and rent is not very high?

Not sure he meant a literal hot spot.
