Need advice. Trying to move to industry in bay area. What parts of compensation are negotiable? And how to offset for cost of living?

Depends on company but nearly everything is negotiable...

1. Everything is negotiable

2. If you join tech, then most flex will come from stock (RSU)

2b. If you joint start up tech, similar story but value is more tenuous so be careful

East SF is pretty affordable from what I hear, if you’re looking to cut down COL in the bay

Resume gap: My position will be abruptly end in December (was informed this week). However, I won't be interview ready in the next 2 weeks. So how bad does a gap of 1-2 months appear to tech recruiters?

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.
