Outside of wanting to work at some tier 1 startup like OpenAI or being a CTO/CISO, I see no financial incentive to live/work in a metro area like the Bay area. I'd like to see some comparison between a remote worker getting a "Good" tech salary (mid 200s-low 300s) in low CoL area and some Netflix engineer in Los Gatos making $750k year but paying the high taxes/housing/food/etc.
- vernon99 2y agoIn no way your cost of living in Los Gatos would be higher than the delta of 450k, even post tax. Are you serious? Bay Area is still an absolute best place to create savings equivalent to generational wealth in many other places. Also, Los Gatos is no SF, a lovely place.
