- beagle3 11y agoFrom your link: Local Purchasing Power in San Francisco, CA is 17.10% higher than in Tel Aviv-yafo That's basically what matters. And 17% is not a huge difference. "Prices" might have been the wrong term to use - but "Purchasing Power" is comparable.
- tacos 11y agoHighlighted, with a box around it, and at the very top of my link: "You would need around 31,022.61₪ in San Francisco, CA to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 17,000.00₪ in Tel Aviv-yafo (assuming you rent in both cities)."
- _yosefk 11y agoActually I compared working for Google or for a startup in the US to working for Google or for a startup in Israel. Regarding your point, the difference in prices is not nearly large enough to wipe out the difference in the amount saved working for Google in the US vs working for Google in Israel.
