It’s kind of hard for me to imagine moving out of the Bay Area, but I’m sure there are major cities outside California that one could easily live on 1/2 a software developer’s income.
- d--b 8y agoI took 1/4th, but I was working for a very successful finance company in New York. If you don't count the yearly bonus, I took about 2/3rd. But the calculation should not be about the fraction, it should be about what you need. If you make $100/hr and work 5hr/day, that's $110k with 5wk vacation. I make more than this and I moved to France, so I make a very decent living compared to the local standards.
