Would like to get a better understanding of salaries in San Diego. Can folks comment with their salary, title, years of experience, industry, and education level?

I’m not based out of SD currently but trying to make the move, and get the feeling salaries are much lower than LA / Bay Area despite HCOL.

Currently in the Bay, 10 YOE, Masters, Consulting industry, 200k salary with 30K bonus.

Not many jobs in SD. Market is saturated and salaries are low. I know hardly any local consultants. I have always traveled or worked from home.

I would keep or take a job with a SF based company before coming down.

San Diego has become very expensive (especially over the last 2-3 years) and wages here aren’t keeping up with the rising COL

Salaries are definitely lower in SD. Before all that is happening, SD wasn’t even HCOL. It was MCOL. Homes literally doubled in price since 2017-2018.

Damn. Is that commission-based? That’s pretty nice.

Yes San Diego is a lower salary. Because corporations don’t base the salary on the cost of living but the “market”. And as some have noted already San Diego cost of living has skyrocketed in the past few years.

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
