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.
Make the move, do not even think twice.
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.
I have the same question. Considering the same move.
