Thinking of moving there, doing some basic research. I don’t need top .01% compensation just hoping it’s good for the COL. I’m aware of levels, Glassdoor, etc. looking for Blinds opinion. $280k 3yoe
SD pay sucks and only getting worse compared to COL since covid. The people that are doing well there have remote bay area jobs without a pay cut. I personally know several in this scenario.
Seattle pay is fine for San Diego, too
It really depends. If you want WFH, it is not that good. If you ok with going to the office, then it really depends on your income expectation. San Diego is growing, Amazon pays well, Google is meh, and Apple is a good player. Then you have other tech like Qualcomm and biotech companies and some defense companies.
