Twitter Employee Making $160,000 in San Francisco Says He's Scraping By

[babelipsss]

Yawn.

 

[King$osa]

Fuck that I know software engineers that live here and make the same money as they pay in Cali. Why anyone would choose to live there when there is opportunity in the tech field in most major cities

 

[EmM HoLLa.]

He should move and try to work remotely.. And make twitter fit the bill on travel expenses when he has to come into the city..

Makes 150,000 and rent is 3,000 and still "scrapping by"

Thats what I do. But Charlotte instead of San Francisco.

They pay for 4 trips a year back to NJ for me too.

I doubt he's scraping by, but the Bay Area is a pretty expensive place to live. 160K isn't as much there as you might think it is.

 

[Sorrow_god]

160 there is like 80 anywhere else.

That's why i was never convinced when software engineering was all the rage. " get a degree in engineering and earn 100k out of college!

Yeah in sanfran or silicon valley that 100k is basically 45-50k anywhere else on top of horrendous traffic. Fuck all that noise. I'll deal with 3 months of winter than 2 hours traffic for a 15 mile trip.

Hes an idiot

 

[VulcanRaven]

That cost of living is ridiculous and I thought MD was too high.

Cosign. My sister makes over 100K in San Diego, but the student loans for that masters degree has her living in a one bedroom bungalow. Shit is ridiculous.

 

[AZTG]

Them student loans are a monster. Im glad I got a job before a degree.

move to the south

 

[AP21]

move to the south

nah brah...let the IC tell it, the south is the worst region to live in

keep living out west and out east sharing rooms with 6 people to pay rent in an apt

 

[VulcanRaven]

move to the south

I might have to move down south myself but I don't know how y'all deal with the heat all year round.

 

[D. Morgan]

160k a year and scrapping by or buried in student loans.

depending on where you are, its not that hot all year

In Louisiana its the humidity more than the heat (outside of summer).....once you're used to it its normal but coming from up north or out west, you aint gone be able to breath for a min lol

Texas is just plain hot ass heat, sun just chillin on your neck....melt the tint off your windows shit....gotta have a garage or carport or you lost

 

[king hassan]

Looks like he is living above his means
