What's the best area to live in in SF proper?
Lots of us here have grew up disadvantaged financially, through education and mentorship found a pathway into a great career.

SF/Bay Area pay in tech in general should be higher than NYC. Otherwise it’s not worth the move IMHO.
I made the move in the fall after 7 months in NYC. Already had a job lined up here before the move but have absolutely zero regrets. Housing market is expensive in both places but I feel like you get what you pay for here… at least more so than NYC.
In general, it’s just so much nicer and cleaner and sunny and outdoorsy here than NYC. Really appreciating the slightly slower pace and, while at a much smaller scale, there isn’t a huge drop off in dining or other big-city characteristics.
It doesn't snow here. Salary shouldn't have that much of an impact.
Considering making the move back as well (used to live there). The housing market is insane right now but hoping it’ll get better.
Compared to Manhattan, I’m seeing better 2/2 condo’s here in SF. Still most are not in prime locations but more space and value in general, IMO.
As a Bay Area resident, I have noticed an increased difficulty in getting a job, now that remote working has become the norm. Yes, there are more jobs to choose from nationally. But very few can pay Bay Area-level salary. Only about 10% of NYC-based companies I have talked to were able to meet my salary expectation. And yes, companies say they are willing to “pay for the right candidate”, but why would they pay premium when they can find someone just as good in Denver, Austin, Boston, Etc.
Same insight here — the shift to remote work benefits people outside Bay Area and if you want to move away, but if you’re keen in staying not great. Doesn’t make sense for an Atlanta based company to pay BA comps even full remote. Some Bay Area companies I think are also intentionally trying to move/hire away (eg. Yelp) to save costs. Some will even say they pay the same nationally but they’ll benchmark off national and try to hit median there…but that becomes bottom 10th for Bay Area
Big-tech treats NY/BA as same pay brackets but outside of that NY-based tech tends to pay lower.
