Agreed. SV is different from the rest of the markets, and it is the main reason why it attracts so many engineers from all over the country (hell, from the world).

Although I don't regret the time I spent outside of SV, from a financial perspective as a single young engineer, it absolutely, 100% makes financial sense to consider opportunities in SF that compensate you so well.

In my case, SV is so different that it actually made me want to leave. Personally, I can't recommend SV to anyone if monetary wealth isn't the only goal.
