Where did you get the data of salary? Salary is different.
Facebook and google pay the same TC. Amazon pays same as in Seattle.
I would love to see some data backing your findings.
No swe at fb work out of Boston
Can you translate this into something understandable?
"No software engineers at Facebook work out of Boston."
Op is full of shit lmao...here’s a serious answer...if you’re in the top 5% of talent ...it pays more to be in sf and Seattle and you get the pick of what team/work.
How much does a top 5% job make in Seattle?
Equivalent to bay at all levels. Added bonus is a bit cheaper lifestyle and no income tax.
Boston is cold af. There’s always a reason things are cheaper. Less demand. If you don’t like California weather, go for it.
Boston is like mars. There’s no life detected
State tax and equivalent sales tax makes it expensive over Seattle. Boston is definitely cheaper than Bay Area.
If you like the city of Boston, and don't mind less tech job options, go for it. It will be an upgrade from a financial standpoint if that is what you value. In terms of life and financials, a lot of other cities are better than Bay Area. But can't beat Bay Area in terms of tech career. I personally don't care to climb the ladder any further and am super happy at Google that I also do not work in Bay Area and am super happy. I have a nice house for a lot cheaper, deal with less traffic, better weather, and my kid is set up for better education with more fun things to do.
This whole post is just a troll
Lol just because you love Bay Area and are close minded don't mean it's a troll. Idk why you're so obsessed with Bay Area. It's expensive AF and there are better cities for a better life. It's only good for tech careers.
Why is money to home value so important to make decision. Are you happy with wat you have at the place you like ? Doesn’t matter what is 2million house looks indifferent part of world.. house becomes home with family, if you don’t have family even if you have 2 mil cash you are just poor.. count your assets in terms of family , true friends and intelligence.. if you have these three in your life, even popper would feel rich..
Boston is a nice city. Definitely better than the Bay Area. That weather tho
