Seattle to SFBay move

Anybody (Sr Mgr or Director) move from Seattle to the Bay Area? How was your experience like? What sort of compensation adjustment did you have to make to make equivalent or better?

Not a manager, but I've got ~50% bump in TC. However will see what's left there after taxes :(

50%? Is it because your current pay is low? That seems to be too much of a bump

Most of it goes to taxes and housing.

Can you elaborate the rational? I like Seattle as a city and am worry about the high living cost in bay area

Your costs become 1.5x, your salary becomes 1.5x-2x depending on the outcome. If savings rate is the same, you are saving more in total amount.
