A CEO Who Pays Employees to De-Locate from the Bay

Anyone who owns a home in the bay area is going to pay 5-6% in fees to sell their home. $10k isn't going to cover that loss.

The ultimate perk (which is often provided by big corporations in a relocation) is to cover the real estate fees.

What percentage of developers own a home in the bay area? Its probably low enough to not matter in this case.

Senior Engineers? Developers over the age of 30? People with kids? Plenty own property.

This comes across as another form of Zuckerberg-esque ageism.

I never understood a real-estate fee of 6-7%. Real estate agent is what you become if you don't like work and have no other way to be productive to society in my opinion.
