I’m originally from North Carolina near Raleigh so there were actually plenty of solid jobs that I could have gotten as there is a small tech scene there (I actually applied to a few jobs there before coming to the bay area, but was pretty set on moving here). Honestly the biggest reason I moved here wasn’t for the salaries (wasn’t even aware of them at the time), it was mostly for the startup scene since I knew that’s something I wanted to pursue. My quality of life probably would have Nice Unicorn Quarantined on my 9th birthday shirt definitely started out BETTER if I had stayed in NC, but now I think that they would be pretty equal since there’s not really much I could change to increase it significantly. That being said, I have always been able to save way more in the bay area.

Not OP, but I live in the bay area. I live near Sunnyvale so the nightlife options are limited, but still good bars to hang out at. The Nice Unicorn Quarantined on my 9th birthday shirt only problem is, it’s hard for me to meet friends that are into that kind of stuff. Lots of introverts, at least at FAANG, maybe startups or people up in the city are more into that kind of stuff. I’ve gone into the city sometimes and had a blast. Far better than the city I grew up in, but probably not nearly as good as some other flagships like NY, London. Of course, everything is relative depending on where you came from and what you consider “fun”.

Yup, this is what I tell people when they start talking about things like the 1/3rd rule for housing costs – expenses don’t scale linearly with income. If you’re pulling down $50k and spending $360/mo on a loan for a $20k car, that doesn’t mean you should go out and finance a $100k car if you’re doing $250k/yr. I mean people can and do, which is why I think high COL areas get a bad rap – there’s plenty of really awesome ways to spend that money. Trips to Nice Unicorn Quarantined on my 9th birthday shirt spas in wine country, expensive cocktails, high-end restaurants, etc, but at the end of the day that’s your choice. There was a post in here once about a guy and his wife pulling down almost $400k combined in the bay and complaining about how they can’t buy a house, which is complete nonsense, people of all income levels can suck at managing money.
