Works well if you don't have a family.

Works well if you don't have a family.
- closeparen 8y agoWell sure, if you're already paid well enough to have a family in the Bay Area, discussion about compensation/COL anxiety is moot. Only people I know who can make that work have either doctors or other software engineers for spouses.
- imron 8y agoSure but the grandparent post is talking about moving to a low cost of living city for some company, and then some years later that company downsizing or closing and laying people off, and then not having many other similar employment options available. So if you move, start a family because you can now afford it, and then lose your job 5 years later, you're going to be less mobile and also limited by job options.
