- oarabbus_ 6y agoActually, I don't think this is true - especially for Seattle. Facebook pays the same payscale for Seattle as the Bay Area. Combined with no state income tax, lower property prices, and lower cost of living, you come out far ahead (financially) by being a Facebooker in Seattle instead of SF.
- filoleg 6y agoFrom what I heard from friends at FB, it was either signing bonus or something else that was slightly less in Seattle than it was in SF. But overall, I am in full agreement with you. You will be able to save noticeably more as a FB engineer in Seattle as opposed to SF, while living around the same lifestyle level.
