How do you afford to live in California? I have been considering jobs there. The pay doesn't seem to be enough of a difference to be able to afford buying a house in San Fran, San Jose, etc.

Startup lottery, high equity cash outs, etc are the only way most make it into home ownership here.

like

The startup lottery is a term used when someone joins an early stage startup, gets early equity and the company has a successful IPO or exit that cashed out the equity at $1,000,000 or more. It’s like hitting the lottery because so many startups fail or their exits don’t really justify the deferred compensation from the early years. It’s a total gamble, but it helps with home ownership, etc here.
