Whats the pay difference between the 2 cities for your company? Feels like the COL is around the same so curious if people in one gets paid more than the other on average
Nobody moves to SF from NYC w/o 50% or more TC bump, am not talking abt relocate within same company.
50% more!? That’s significantly different. Why is that?
Housing is more expensive, higher state taxes, more competition for devs etc.
🤔
But NYC is so much better...
Depends upon what you like. For many ppl NYC weather is a disaster. Subway in summer is literally a restroom sauna.
Please elaborate? Do you mean the food or the clubbing or the city itself?
pay delta is de minimis. COL depends on your lifestyle but rent is about the same (you get less space in NYC). If you're into nightlife and fine dining NYC will probably cost you more
Just made a post about this in housing. Having lived in both, COL and pay are same entry to mid level. NYC has a lot less headcount once you're in 300k+ territory.
Except Amazon most companies pay the same in SF, Seatte, NYC. I would argue NYC is cheaper than SF because you don’t necessarily have to live in Manahattan you can live in Brooklyn/Jersey City and because of excellent public transportation commute to work pretty easily. Even in Manhatta you have East Village and Browery where you get cheaper rents and commute in 10 min to Midtown/Downtown where as the bay is more or less uniformly expensive with horrible public transportation to the peninsula.
Which city pays more for Amazon?
Amazon has different bands for NYC and the Bay Area they pay in these cities slightly higher.
