"The market has driven up salaries ridiculously high."
Has it really? My dad owned his first home freehold after working for 5 years. I'm almost there after ~15 years. And I've had help from my wife.
Real estate has driven up salaries ridiculously high.
- walshemj 12y agoCompared to what? What do Dr and Lawyers get in SF
- franklinho 12y agoI meant in terms of startup costs. The increase in office space prices are a tiny fraction compared to the salary increases.
- sheepmullet 12y agoAnd the salary increases are driven by real estate prices. I'm currently on ~$120k/year and I calculated that I would need $200k/year in the valley in order to have an equivalent lifestyle! I'm not going to uproot my entire family for an equivalent lifestyle so realistically I wouldn't move for less than $240k/year. I'm not saying I'm worth that kind of money; I'm just saying it's not worthwhile for me to work in the valley for less.
