I’m senior SWE in the Bay Area. My TC is 260k, but a big chunk of that is in stock. My take home is just shy of 200k. I’ve got 7 YOE. Houses within ten minutes of my office run 1.5 to 2 million for something modest, nothing fancy. Point I’m trying to make is even though I’m not making staff engineer at Google money, I’m still making damn good money, yet home ownership in this area will take me a decade at least. And this is all while hoping that the moment I pay off my mortgage, there isn’t a communist takeover across the Bay Area where the sweat of 20 years of 40-50 hour work weeks is ripped from my brow and redistributed to a bunch of depressed failed artists, which seems to be the direction this shithole state is going.
