Run the numbers...tech jobs in a tier 1 real estate market isn't that great of a deal. Most likely a nice rental and a slightly underfunded 401k
And don't forget tech is like Logan's Run...have fun looking for work at 50 (when most public employees have started their retirement countdown)

- claydavisss 8y agothey also pay taxes and rent my point was....how much will they "pull in" for the thirty+ years of their retirement? public employees also don't have to worry about obsessively sharpening their skills every four years or foreign labor or being made irrelevant by cloud services, and they don't care about recessions for the most part techie Ragnarok is coming within ten years, HN will turn into a giant therapy board
