Need suggestion, Dallas or Bay Area?

Have offers from DFW area healthcare IT vs FinTech startup from Bay Area. TC in both rhe companies is around same at 145. Confused as tech scene in Dallas might not be same as Bay Area. Thought?

145 in Dallas is middle class, while 145 in Bay Area is slightly above poverty line.

There is no tech scene in Dallas. 145 there is great though, while it’s bleh here in Bay Area. If you are a TC chaser then come To Bay Area and switch companies every 2-3 years

If you wanna work in tech then come to Bay Area and get a higher paying job. Otherwise Dallas.

Job will be better in the bay. Life will be better in Dallas. You choose.

This is not an apples to apples comparison. A salary of $145K in Dallas could only compare with about $240k in SF. See this: https://www.bestplaces.net/cost-of-living/dallas-tx/san-francisco-ca/45000

Can live like a king on $145k in DFW.

You can buy a house for $300+ in DFW, while in Bay Area same house will cost you much more.

U'll not even get a toilet for 300 in the bay
