- JohnFen 3y agoWell, a smart engineer would look at their income adjusted according to their CoL. Those amazing-sounding salaries in SV are offset by how expensive everything is. If I can live with a higher standard of living at half the nominal salary, am I really making less?
- pb7 3y agoIs it really a higher standard of living if you lack the amenities that make those places popular and as a result expensive?
- JohnFen 3y agoWell, it depends on what you value. If you consider being in a specific area critical for your standard of living, then the computation changes accordingly, of course. But not everyone considers living there to have a positive impact on their standard of living. They live there to get a high-paying job. Of the dozen or so people I personally know who live in that area, half of them would prefer to live somewhere else.
