Not arguing that 95% of companies don't. Just saying there are many outside the base FAANG camp that do... it's a much bigger ecosystem than one might expect at first blush. If you hang out on blind or get contacted by these companies over time it becomes evident.
- b112 4y agoWhat cracks me up, is how little a sub-200k salary is in SF. 100k less, in most other places on the planet, affords a much richer lifestyle. When I work in SV, I expect 2x the salary minimum, just due to the cost of living, and housing cost differences. Anything less than 300k? I'll make more working in Canada, at 150k.
- MikeTheRocker 4y agoThis is just patently false. I live in SV and have pretty high living expenses, around $80-90k/year. If I were earning $300k, after 40% effective tax rate and CoL, I'd still save ~$100k. That's far more money in my pocket than the hypothetical Canadian employed me earning $150k, both nominally and especially so after the currency conversion.
