Is this TC?
I'd say at the minimum. Drop the salary by 10% to account for state income tax in California. Washington, no state income tax. Maybe another 5-10% for Seattle area. Nothing is cheap anymore around Seattle. Basically bay area prices id you are within 35 min of Seattle.
Very false. You can get lake facing large properties in Redmond area for a mill. Something like that in the bay would easily go for double. Also I bought a 2 bedroom condo 3 miles from downtown for 500k that’s recently been rented. Something like that in the city would easily cost double also.
But double the cost doesn't mean double the salary

Probably 150k. Moving from Redmond to Bay Area gives about 10% bump, so the backwards should be 10% cut
