In terms of cost of living, is Bay area at same level as New york? if Bay area is costly, whats is the difference like? My current TC is 180, what would be equivalent number in bay area.
And crazy crowded
Iโve lived in NYC for 8yrs, and SF for 4yrs. SF feels more unsafe to me.
More info needed ... YoE, role ?
Donโt move to either if you like saving money.
South Bay < NYC < SF/North bay
You are equating NYC here to just Manhattan.
I've lived in both and cost and quality of living is way better in NYC imo. Bay area is even more expensive to buy a house, feels more unsafe, you need a car to do anything. Salaries are about equivalent in both from what I've seen.
No. Bay area costs WAY more
