Seattle vs Bay area

If my goal is stay in Seattle does it make sense to apply to a few companies' bay area locations to increase my negotiation leverage. What's the best strategy here? Also what companies pay their employees more in bay area more than Seattle?

No company will honor your Bay Area package for Seattle. Tbh it’s not worth to move in bay unless your plan is to start your own startup

Microsoft matched a bay area offer for a friend of mine.

Lol your friend would have got a low Bay Area offer.

Anything helps with negotiation. They might just discount it significantly to adjust for CoL and tax.
