you're not crazy. i have tried to come up with a scenario that would let SF match the material wealth I have in seattle for less than 300k/year (2x increase), but to no avail. It's just not a sensible place to have a family.



Exactly. If I saw a path to $300K in the next 2-3 years I'd probably just gut it out, but nobody is going to make a commitment like that to me, sooo.


FWIW if you’re working at on of the Big 5 that’s pretty achievable, although primarily in RSUs. I started at $125k and was at over $300k total after three years. Obviously at a start up it’s going to be very different.


Big 5. I keep hearing about this refresher magic but nobody will give me numbers to work with.
