I love visiting the bay area and there there is no disputing there are a lot of engineering jobs there and probably always will be but for a lot of people the cost of living and in particular housing makes working there a raw deal. It really only makes sense if you are just out of school and can move up the ranks quickly or if you have notoriety and can command salary over $200k per year. For the average mid to late career engineer who is going to get an offer in the $130k - $150k range it doesn't make financial sense.
