I moved from the bay to NYC last year and thought that there is enough tech here for it to not hurt my career. I wasn't wrong, but as I decided to make a career change to become an ML engineer, I found that there was noticeably less opportunity here than in the bay. I still found a good job in the end, but there were just so many more interesting jobs back there.
I don't know if it's worthwhile to go to the bay for purely financial reasons, but it definitely still seems like a good place to go for career reasons.
I'm sort of expecting to move back to the bay eventually, I'm just hoping that they get their head out of their ass and build some more housing.
