Commute time, working hours, vacation time, job safety, there are many thing to take into consideration.

I'm not saying one is objectively better, it all boils down to personal choices, but it's much more complex than "Go to SV and make 10x the salary".

I worked in mountain view before, now I'm living 300 meters from my office in central Berlin paying <20% of my salary in rent, I'm missing the 365 days of sun but other than that I don't think anything changed for the worse.
