Yes, but they have to make 50-100% more to live in the Valley vs. an average CoL area. I'm not sure they'd make more than $90-$120k in the Valley.


There are no experienced engineers in the SFBA working for $90k unless they're choosing alternate comp over base salary. Most internships pay more than that on an annualized basis nowadays.

But you may know something I don't about these roles, they may not all be engineers?


Given they can pick the location they live in, they could hit the equivalent of $120k if they wanted.

If they went with $90k, its because they had a higher cost of living area they preferred.

So I'd call that "alternative comp" myself.
