Not sure about that. You don't get more pay in the bay area, you actually would be paid less because of the taxes. Seattle has faang level offices and their compensation numbers is a bit lower than their counter parts in bay area. But u get lower cost of living and vastly lower taxes so you would even earn more. I have known many ppl moved out of bay area and I think Seattle is one of the top paying locations all things considered
- Tiktaalik 3y agoThere are other subtle taxation differences that could really matter by jurisdiction as well (ie. low property taxes in much of Canada) and of course low healthcare costs (though this matters less for the highly paid tech worker). I mean for parents in Canada they could get $10/day daycare in some places as that's ramping up more and more. That could be a dramatic cost savings for a certain person. It would be interesting to see someone do a real comprehensive look between the countries that touches literally every possible cost. I don't think I've seen that. With my own back of the envelope math comparisons, the countries did tighten up.
