I guess the big thing we've learned from this person's posts is that it is possible to like a city that is not SF.

And you get better offers when you're poached by a VP you are acquainted with.

It shouldn't take long to confuse your salary in these circumstances with the salaries of people working for and around you. Your immediate reference is probably that VP who is also VP :D

And that you can make 2.7 times a Bay Area salary and own a 5,000 square foot home in a city with mass transit that is much more culturally rich than S.F. It really sounds magical.
