It's less than you think in the Bay Area. Above average engineers easily break 300k. Really good ones will break 500K. After rent and taxes in the Bay area tho

It's less than you think in the Bay Area. Above average engineers easily break 300k. Really good ones will break 500K.
After rent and taxes in the Bay area though, if you're in the 300k bucket, you'll only have 140k left not including higher food / transportation / private school costs. Definitely a good amount but much less impressive than the original sounds.
- skybrian 9y agoMileage definitely varies on living expenses. Anyone who doesn't have a family (yet) can save far more than that.
- seattle_spring 9y agoOnly 140k left over!? How do they eat?
- utopcell 9y agoFree food ;-)
- 0xfaded 9y agoDon't forget taxes paid on illiquid stock compensation.
