I'm in San Francisco and junior mid engineer. Well a house is out of reach unless there's an event with payout or you have 200k in the bank. Renting a one bedroom in the city is 1700-2500. So after taxes, etc you're looking at about 40% of monthly income spent there. If you're savvy enough to get into a rent control place, then you'll be paying about 15% of salary, but you'll have roommates. Family in SF? Good luck
