yes for sure, that kind of salary bump outside tech is not easy.
But at the same time if you can make it happen it has a huge impact on your net worth/retirement/kids college ect.
Even in this example, ppl in bay area gained a million in networth in just home price while the 400k person didn't make any gains. I don't know where houses are 400k these days though.

Well the joke was always you had to have an all cash bid 20% over asking in the Bay before the run up anway so you already had to have a pretty massive net worth to buy in the first place.
>I don't know where houses are 400k these days though.
"Only 1M"
And I mean sure I could have bought a big house in Palo Alto for 50k or whatever in 1950 but that's not really relevant anymore.
Maybe dual tech worker couples can make it work but but there isn't a large pay increase for most other fields in the Bay.
