Well, you'd have to be outside of most big cities. Even on a tech salary, living near an office in central London isn't affordable. Not unless you're flat sharing which is basically mutually exclusive with having a family.

- beaconstudios 5y agoLondon is the only city in the UK where that's the case, and many boroughs are commutable - it's only really the centre that's a problem.
- amyjess 5y agoDallas is pretty fine. For a few years, I lived within a 10-15 minute drive to my office on a $60k salary. Inner-ring suburb and not downtown, but most of the offices here are in the inner-ring suburbs. (and if that sounds low, don't worry: I now make much more and work for a company that doesn't even have offices in my time zone)
- ghaff 5y agoA lot of tech industry jobs are also outside of big cities. (As are Google jobs in the Bay Area; the BA is just something of an outlier in that fairly conventional suburbia is still priced higher than just about anyplace else in the country.)
