Moving from Europe to SF Bay. Can you please tell me what is the average salary in Tech for Software Engineers or Data Scientists in SF Bay? YoE: 1 in Tech Ph.D. from a top school. What is the average monthly rent for a decent one-bedroom flat in a convenient location ? What about the holidays? Do you have paid holidays? If yes, how many days? And What about medical insurance? Can you afford it? Thanks
Something like 170k tc in FAANG for 1 yoe. 2500-3500 for rent. Yes, paid holidays. Your company will pay for medical insurance.
What about other firms?
@google: I think 1 yoe with PhD should get 200k at least in FAANG, no?
Google will answer this but welcome to the bay. Comp will be 3 to 400. Median rent is 3500. 10 ish holidays and paid time off you can use how you want. Medical insurance is paid by employer.
What area are you planning to stay in the Bay?
I am not familiar with SF. What about the people who work in Amazon, FB, Google? I am looking for a decent and convenient location?
They stay all over the place. You need to do a little bit of research on commute time, price, safety and choose the area that has the balance for you.
