I'm biased since I grew up in SEA and recently moved to SF.
If the offers are the exact same, on a COL adjusted basis you'll take home more in SEA. More importantly there still is a bit of affordable real estate left compared to the insanity of the bay, if home ownership is in your future.
The bay is nice, I pay a premium to be here, but it doesn't feel like I place I can stay long term.
Yeah, I was looking at a home purchase as I have dogs and established a life. I didn’t want to take a step backwards into apartments. Seattle has always interested me as I’m fairly outdoorsy. I’ve never had any issues with money before living in a low COL, so this is slightly scary for me.

Eh, everyone always overblows the COL aspect. Even if the cost of living is much higher in SF than in Oklahoma, the huge salary figure means you are still saving more nominally. I moved from NY to SF and don’t really notice a difference at all, though SF is supposed to be more expensive than NY. I make much more money in SF, so I’m saving almost double.

I mean NY to SF is not the best comparison...
How many years of experience Op? Let us know what the offer comes out at!
7 YOE, I’ll update, first foray into FAANG
There’s no way your base as PM can’t go higher than $140k. How many YoE?
7 YOE, saying they won’t go over $140k as a conservative guess based on Glassdoor, Blind, etc.
Taxes. Seattle low
Yup, this is a top 5 reason for Seattle>Menlo Park
The 140k base salary is misleading.
Depending on what level they bring you at you're looking at either 200k total comp or 250k total comp for SF
