We have one 3 years old and another one on the way. Seriously considering moving away from Bay Area to have a better quality of family life. Spouse and I both work. Given the high cost of housing, we live far from our places of work which leads to high commute times everyday for both of us. We own a townhouse. Mortgage and other house expenses are very high. Given the second one is on the way, my spouse has expressed the desire to take a break for few years from her job to raise the kids which I am supportive off, but the financial aspects will get into turmoil as she makes 80% of what I do. Also, we both would like to raise our kids in a spacious sfh which is almost impossible here. Should I grind harder and try to get into FAANG or just move out of the area? My company is supportive of remote working. Want to hear from people who moved out of Bay Area to raise family. Pros/cons. What were the positives and what in your opinion are the tradeoffs of moving out of Bay Area? P:S, We both are from India and on H1B.
Move to folsom
yes move to Texas
☝️
That is one of the option we are considering
Have you ever been to Irving, Texas ? Or Dallas or Sugarland or New Jersey or Herndon, VA or Morrisville NC . It’s all Desi . Like you can even find entire 2 mile radius of only Telugu too if you want to also raise your children around specific type of Indian people . If you really want only desi people around go to Bangalore .
The country demographics are very different today than the one you grew up in . ‘Fobs who grew up entitled ‘ - I sense some underlying issues there . Also I apologize but the way you write makes me doubt you grew up here . Just cause I have never seen someone who grew up here use ‘ur’ for your . That’s seems more indicative of someone who grew up in India.
FAANG.. and for future you can sell FAANG on your resume for 💵💵💵
Haven’t heard it worded this way, good way to think about having FAANG on a resume
Move to Bangalore
We want to stay in US and raise kids here.
Don’t come to Texas. It’s becoming too crowded.
Move to la, tech companies has a lot of position open here, good Indian population, much easier to buy sfh
Go back to India.

Bay is crazy, money flows, money goes, quality of life is meh. Austin and other areas like Boise are super hot right now and can be great places to raise a family
Stay in the Bay
