If you want to be located in a place which pays relatively high in Europe, housing prices are adequate. 10-15 years ago it would be possible to have disproportionally large salary in eastern places like Prague, but that's history now.
Even if it still costs less than SF, your paycheck now looks adequate. Covid era raised prices everywhere.

- thriftwy 5y agoWhat if you already live in a cheaper, less bubbly area? Or decide to move there early on. Then staying there and working remotely becomes family friendly, and moving becomes super selfish. Most people assume moving to get a good job, which will lead exactly to the consequences above.

It still happens but you need to go further East, like Romania, for example. But Romania is far more disorganized compared to Czechia, so there are downsides.
