Agreed. Working in the Bay Area makes sense despite the massive cost of renting because savings are just as large. So if you spend 10 or so years in the Bay Area and move to another part of the country you could live very well.
- aantix 7y agoThat’s how my wife and I paid off our student loans. We lived in non-trendy neighborhoods (Excelsior and Daily City) but within a 1.5 mile walk to bart. saved a ton of money just because of that. There’s so much more leverage regarding engineering compensation in the Bay Area. Keep housing a spending relatively in check, and you’ll accumulate savings the Midwest could only dream of.
