I make that much in Seattle, and have a great commute of less than 15 minutes to work and good public schools and modern house. I have no idea what the minimum I need to make to afford that same luxury in bay area.
Depends on what you make now? My TC is about that in Seattle depending on stock performance. Wouldn’t move to California unless it was a bigger raise.
I make 550k, the pay is going to remain the same
Move if you really want to be in California. Your money won’t feel as much. You’ll make it into the 11.3% state tax bracket. California is also substantially more expensive for real estate. Renting wise expect to pay $5K/mo if you pay $3.5K/mo here and your place won’t be as nice. Nearly everything is old with carpet in California.
Almost all the increase will be wiped out by the high CA income tax
Pay being the same makes this effective a massive pay cut
depends on how if you like california,as a native californian who misses the sun, yes it would be worth it to me. That said, depends a bit on the commute
Only reason is weather. But I value that a lot. Otherwise there is nothing much to move here!
