What about anyone that wants to own a home before they are 40? Even on FAANG salaries its very difficult to buy when millionaires are snatching up fixer uppers for $1M+ all cash.
- dlp211 6y agoEvery person I work with is under 40 and everyone that wants to own a home, does. SF and NYC are not the only tech hubs in the US.
- bradlys 6y agoI'm confused - are you saying you work with people under 40 within SF and/or NYC and they all own homes? I'm pretty surprised...
- economicslol 6y ago>SF and NYC are not the only tech hubs in the US. Also confused. I agree with your point. My comment was responding to a person who couldn't imagine people who wouldn't move to SFBay for a FAANG level salary/job.
- username90 6y agoYou can just move to any of the other big cities that have big offices. It is easier to get a job in SF, but if you are good enough you will have no problem getting a job there.
- economicslol 6y agoI don't understand. I agree. What is your point? We're talking about why people may not be interested in moving to the Bay Area...
