I think it's fair to say even if we adjusted for lower US taxes, higher livings costs, that the Californian worker would be far better ahead still.

There is a reason the entire Silicon Valley doesn't pack up and move to Finland. The money is in California right now.

There are cheaper places to live if someone wants to take a year off. I guess even in California some not too distant downs are much cheaper than SV.
