Yet another reason to NEVER move to silicon valley. PROS: * if you land a job at a Fortune 50 company you could end up making $300k after 5-6 years if you are a badass. These are all big ifs. * lots of sunshine * easier access to venture capital CONS: * high taxes * real estate is 10x inflated compared to most of the rest of the country * actually, everything costs more there. The valley also has the highest gasoline prices in the country. Even food is more expensive there. * the top employers have, in the past, colluded to illegally not hire each other's developers * illegal sexual harassment appears to be a cultural norm * housing shortages * weird local politics (social justice warriors are actually a thing there) --- In summary the valley looks like a great place for founders (if male) but horrid for employees.
