You don't even have to be a manager to get that in IT in the Bay Area. On the other hand, your rent (or even more so, your mortgage) around here will eliminate the wage advantage. Not to mention just about the highest state income tax rate in the US.

And if you apply to work remotely, they offer less money, because they know what you're doing.

If your costs have gone up 25%, you'll need more than a 25% raise to stay even. It'd have to be 25% after taxes. Is every employer offering COLA's? I don't think so.

That's a good point.

It might be somewhat less though if the majority of cost of living increase is due to housing, and you buy. Disposable income may be lower, but annual gain in net worth may be higher.

This is the only reason I wanted to buy in the 1980's: to have a measure of control over my "rent" in future decades. No other reason.
