Where do you draw the line? Do you think a 35% salary cut would be reasonable to complain about?
At some point, in moving from Seattle to Winnipeg, if your salary gets adjusted from being able to afford a small apartment in downtown Seattle to being able to afford a small apartment in downtown Winnipeg... At some point that becomes a bad deal, right?
- coffeefirst 6y agoOf course, there’s a way to do it that would be outrageous if you assume the worst. And perhaps the anxiety around this is really because they didn’t publish hard numbers. But in a lot of cases, the average FAANG engineer who takes this route will be leaving their small apartment for somewhere they can buy a house.
- jbay808 6y agoYes - but that house is probably affordable because of the savings they've accumulated in Seattle/SF.
