Re:Ask HN: Would you still move to the Bay Area?

After taxes, rent and food, what is the net savings in your bank account today?
Then evaluate your offer and calculate net savings in Bay Area.
For many (especially those currently located in low-paying areas such as Eastern Europe or some Asian countries) the net savings are greater with all things considered, therefore a move makes sense. For others the increase is marginal or non-existent, as high salaries exist elsewhere in the world, so they won't bother.
