If I understood it correctly, you physically live in Bay Area while working remotely for a company located in Eastern Europe, and you are earning Bay Area rates? This seems like the complete inverse of the situation I usually hear of (working for a Bay Area company remotely in a cheaper area and earning Bay Area rates).
Out of pure curiosity, do you mind sharing the name of that Eastern European company? Totally understandable if you aren't willing to do so, but I have a feeling that there is probably literally 1 or 2 companies tops that would be willing to do that, so it isn't really an option for almost anyone. The first two that popped into my mind were Yandex and, to a much lesser degree, VK.

- exdsq 5y agoYou understand correctly! It's a crypto startup but I don't really want to have my account be to obviously mine. It isn't amazing bay area rates, but it's six figures.
- filoleg 5y agoNo need to reveal the exact company name, your clarification was more than enough to address my curiosity in regards to the situation. I really appreciate you giving just enough info, without compromising your own privacy, especially since it sounds like it is a small startup.
- pcthrowaway 5y agoFor me it was just enough information to make me more curious about what type of crypto company. I work for one too, but not on the fun web3 side of things.
- moneywoes 5y agoDo you mind elaborating on what that is? Looking to learn as much about web 3 as possible. Thanks
- pcthrowaway 5y agoI work for a company that does market making for crypto exchanges and projects, but I'm mainly doing fullstack webdev for internal apps right now.
- exdsq 5y agoWhat are you looking to learn about? I can get some links together tomorrow and send them over to you :)
- smsm42 5y agoYandex Labs is a San Francisco company. Technically owned by Yandex, but otherwise not much difference from any other Bay Area company.
- filoleg 5y agoWow, I actually had no idea that Yandex had any presence in the US. Sounds like a pretty interesting setup they got this way, I will have to check it out.
