IKEA furniture here in Silicon Valley means that you're a tech intern living in a starter apartment (and you're spending all your money on rent instead of anything else). College kids have to practically give away all of their surplus IKEA furniture at the end of every summer (along with their unused bicycles) once their Facebook internships end because everyone is selling and nobody is buying. I'm always amused when someone thinks they can sell their Galant for nearly full price on Craigslist in August.
