Lol, well OP didn't specify where in California, he just said CA, so it could be anywhere in NorCal or SoCal. So yeah Palo Alto has a high cost of living.

Sorry for the churn - I want to know the salary difference between Austin TX and Sunnyvale CA. If you can give cost of living difference, that would be great!! I searched internet on cost of living but would like to hear from folks who can more practical numbers!!

Anecdotally 20-30% I hear from folks who have moved both directions. Depends on role and assessed market value of that role in the comp algo
