That can certainly work out then (depending on your expense to income ratio), all I'm saying is you need to do the math on what you can save based on the new income to compare saving rates rather then cost of living to pay ratio. I have compared offers from Seattle, NYC, SF, Pittsburgh, and Philly, for multiple big well-known tech companies. Pittsburgh and Philly were way cheaper cost of living, but pay was substantially lower as well so I would save more in other locations. SF paid the most, followed by NYC, followed by Seattle, but SF and NYC would have had reduced saving rates after looking at everything. Granted these were not all the same company (some were) so it's hard to do direct comparison and know what places like FB will do. I'd be interested in seeing more data as this occurs
