One question: For the people hiring, do they pay enough for an employee to buy a house within a 20 minute commute to the office, support a family, and save for retirement?
- 20years 10y agoBingo!! In my particular location, companies try and hire devs for $25/hr but the average starter home is $500k. Then they wonder why all of the talent leaves.
- graycat 10y agoYup, those houses selling for $500K are really expensive, so expensive "no one can afford them"!
- briffle 10y agoI'm upper 30's, married, with kids.. There is no way in hell I'm applying for a job in SV no matter the pay (well, maybe if it looked like a phone number, but that is not realistic)..
- downrightmike 10y agoWhoa there, for most companies outside of the bay bubble: pick only one.
