Did you prove you’re worth the salary or do they just have massively inflated salaries for everyone in a certain west coast US city because A bunch of huge technology companies failed to realise computers and the internet exist outside of said city and remote working is a very workable thing. I’m not saying they should drop your salary if you move, but I also don’t think a lot of people hired at typical SV rates are actually worth that much, so much as they can’t afford to live there if paid less.
