Depends on how well they're paid. For example it's unlikely I'm going to just walk across the street and into a position that pays as well as my current one does.
I mean, I could probably get any $100k + "equity" gig on AngelList, but I don't feel like taking a ~50% (rough numbers here, it's less than 50%) pay cut. And I know I'm not even close to the only one in my pay bracket.
- autotune 9y agoTrue, but pay isn't the only thing to take into account. Work-life balance, training opportunities, having to be on-call or not and being compensated if so, and promotional opportunities that can get you into a higher bracket with the former benefits included, and being somewhere where you feel stable are non-pay-related worth considering. Once you reach the point where you can "afford" the Bay Area, Quality of Life becomes pretty important IMHO.
