Thank you for this. I don't understand why people have such a hard time thinking this way. Many people are very elastic and flexible about where they live (especially when it's 'anywhere in the US') and as someone with a job in the bay area, I don't understand why I should take a pay cut to move somewhere cheaper to do the same job. The employer ends up incentivizing me to stay in the most expensive area that also happens to be the easiest place to get a competing offer... makes no sense
