- vonmoltke 10y agoMy understanding is that's a pretty typical starting salary for the Bay Area right now, so it isn't really compensating the recipient for the risk of not having a job in six months for reasons outside of the recipient's control. Also gives you some idea of how stupid expensive the area is, which further increases the risk.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoI'm in a low cost of living area, emergency fund, everything and I just can't imagine having little experience, making 100k a year where you're paying $3-4k/month for rent, and then to lose your job with only a few weeks before you're broke. Terrifying.
