That's interesting, I visited last year and it seemed OK. Everything was way cheaper than the SF Bay, it was clean and easy to drive around, plenty of variety for shopping and restaurants. Not as fancy as silicon valley, but being half the price made up for a lot
What this thread really makes me think is that I need to look into moving back to Seattle.. if Seattle is still half the price of the Bay and only a short flight away, maybe I can find a decent job without too much of a pay cut, haha.

- Sebguer 4y agoIt's probably 80% of the price, maybe a little less or more depending on the neighborhood, at least in terms of apartment costs.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoMan, that sounds great! I'm at a bit of a disadvantage since I only work on C/C++ OS/driver stuff, so there aren't as many openings around for me.. Maybe I should pivot to something a little higher up the stack
- boring_twenties 4y agoI don't think it's a disadvantage at all. Maybe in terms of sheer number of openings, but many of those openings, you probably wouldn't enjoy filling. If you have any interest in securities trading, you can definitely make top dollar with those skills.
