Is relocating to SF for a nontech role at a tech company insane?
I have a BA, 5 years experience at Amazon and other startups in Seattle doing analytics for product and project mgmt. At this point I’m a self taught generalist. current TC is 80k. I’m ready for a change and warmer weather. Would I have a significantly lower COL in SF than I do in Seattle?
Moving to SF with TC 80k. You will only be able to live as a student. Hope you like student life. You will need TC 200k to live an ok life in SF.
I mean SF isn't really that warm dude
5 years at amazon, tc 80k....does not compute
5 years total experience. 2 years at Amazon, 3 at two startups. Does not comprehend reading.
I don’t get paid to read
You know I sound crazy but I would move to Colorado
I’m afraid of red states.
CO is now slowly turning purple/blue and Denver is quite progressive! col is of course quite nice too. I live in a smaller city and I love the vibe; I would appreciate CO weather lol
You would have higher cost of living in SF than Seattle. You’d have lower net profit in SF if you started with the same TC. I think you asked the question backwards
I’d negotiate a higher TC to account for COL. Do you think it’s doable? I don’t know anyone in SF who makes less than 300k or isn’t bankrolled by their parents still, so I am having a hard time understanding what my life could be like
