>I'm not really picturing THAT many brilliant developers that fall under the bucket of: a) really smart and able to pass FAANG interviews b) not willing to relocate if they did get a huge offer

What about anyone that wants to own a home before they are 40? Even on FAANG salaries its very difficult to buy when millionaires are snatching up fixer uppers for $1M+ all cash.

Every person I work with is under 40 and everyone that wants to own a home, does. SF and NYC are not the only tech hubs in the US.

>SF and NYC are not the only tech hubs in the US.

Also confused. I agree with your point. My comment was responding to a person who couldn't imagine people who wouldn't move to SFBay for a FAANG level salary/job.

You can just move to any of the other big cities that have big offices. It is easier to get a job in SF, but if you are good enough you will have no problem getting a job there.

I don't understand. I agree. What is your point? We're talking about why people may not be interested in moving to the Bay Area...

I'm confused - are you saying you work with people under 40 within SF and/or NYC and they all own homes? I'm pretty surprised...
