And so what? It does not invalidate my point, especially compared to the other salaries in the area. Also you did not include the cost of living there, which is probably very high.
- maccard 8y agoIMO, it does invalidate your point. You said: "It really puts the salary in perspective." It doesn't. To take the cost of living into consideration: $100k after tax in SF is ~70k. With 2k in rent, you have ~$46,000 p/a. An "average" grad in London is probably grossing at most $40k (£31k) After tax, that's ~£25k, and in London, you can easily be set back £800/month on rent. So you're left with less than £14,000 which is about $18k. Are you really telling me that to maintain the same standard of living in SF will cost you 2 and a half times more after rent?
