Markets, Rent and WFH

If you're living somewhere with a third the cost of SF, is it necessary to further your career growth? Outside the city, people will realize there's more to life than high tech and lean into the "life" portion of work-life balance.

I think if you enjoy your job enough, then yeah. Some people just really like their job and org enough to dedicate extra time to it and that's fine (as long as their paid proportionally, don't work for free). I don't love my job and tech that much though

There is also more to life than big cheap houses. People to meet and things to do with them, for example. A pleasant and engaging public realm.

In the "big cheap house" world people host parties.

It's hard to generalize what everyone wants. Not everyone wants the same things in life.

There are salary adjustments when you leave urban areas like SF.

Depends on the company and circumstances.
