- After a nationwide job search, I settled in the SF Bay Area, where my
- salary is 1.3 - 1.5x the salary offers I was getting from other areas.
- I currently pay 25% of my take-home pay toward rent, but only because
- I'm trying to save up enough to buy a house here. (It's going to take a
- while!).
