> I couldn't count the number of times I've seen a Bay Area software engineer 4 years out of college genuinely believe they're justified in complaining about their lot in life I don't believe you. I believe that there are people like this saying they could probably demand more money, and also that they may be commenting on how ludicrously high housing costs are in the bay area, and how that makes it hard to afford to buy a house even on a very high nominal salary. But I find that comments like this are usually exaggerating others' sense of entitlement. Certainly it's very common in the CS career subreddit that I moderate. And having grown up in the bay area and worked at Google in the bay area...I just haven't seen many, if any, devs this entitled-sounding. So no, I don't believe you've hit this mega-entitled doucheperson "more times than you can count".
