How are you making $250k in Atlanta?

I work for a company based in SF. We have a remote office.

My salary is $130k, but RSU grants bring that up to about $250k total comp a year.

This really is the sweet spot for software engineers right now IMO. I'm doing the same in Colorado and making about the same as you in both salary and equity comp. Quick bike ride to work, housing is expensive but still attainable out here and I can literally walk to the mountains from my apartment.

I grew up in the Bay Area and have zero desire to return.

That's a hugely unbalanced split. Is that your grant value or your best value after a year(s) of fantastic growth?

My question as well. If it’s “I got $50k worth of RSUs last year and now they are worth $150k”, that not earning $250k per year, that $150k plus a good bonus year.
