Granted my rent has gone up by a factor of 3.5, but after paying rent I've still got double the money leftover. Other things are cheaper too.
Now of course there is a couple years experience vs when I was in BC, but I would still probably be close to double.
- branchless 11y agoOk it's working for you then. I think with housing costs factored in plus the net pay as the pay increase is taxed at a higher rate, plus quality of life issues make it less appealing. In the main I'm talking about "world cities" where the big finance firms launder money through property, detaching the price from local wages, such as NY, LN and TK. I wouldn't count Seattle as a "big" city. The OP was talking about NY and SF, both of these are very big.
