B&OC, yeah, The Bay Area is bigger than us, but we’re bigger than you!
Lab type jobs? I’m CFO of a VC-backed medical device company. We have a handful of techs (akin to lab types), and they are are well paid. The average outlay for salary, bonus, benefits, and taxes per employee at our company is over $125K. And, we’re right at median with other life science companies, because I keep close tabs by participating in annual salary surveys.
Enjoy your $500-600K home, ’cause you can’t sell it for that, today. But, you’ll be able to sell it for $300K in a few years, given that Boston/MA is one of the few areas to have a bigger bubble than SoCal.
Yeah, your football team beat ours. But, our coach doesn’t look like he needs Prozac. And, I heard something on the radio this morning about a lawsuit coming his way from a jilted mistress.
Enjoy your time in “Backwater by the Bay.” When you come back to SoCal, expect a close look over, because coming from such a relatively economically distressed locale, we may end up treating you like an illegal alien (TB tests and the like).
