You might make more in SV but would you make more after accounting for cost of living differences? It's a very expensive area to live in. A quick Google search tells me that your 48k Euros is equivalent to over 100k USD in SV. I used Berlin and San Francisco as the locations for comparison.

- S4M 12y agoBerlin is not Germany. I don't know where the OP is from, but if he's from Muenchen or Frankfurt, my rough estimation (I am not German) is that the cost of life in those cities are 20-30% higher than in Berlin.
- fredophile 12y agoI'm also not German and don't know where in Germany the OP is from. I've heard about the tech startup scene in Berlin but I can't recall hearing about a started community in other cities in Germeny. That's why I chose Berlin as a proxy for Germany and clearly stated it as an assumption. San Francisco isn't the same as all of Silicon Valley either. The OP knows what city he's in and can find the appropriate cost of living difference on his own.
