I was comparing Mt. View with MM, not CV. Even then, it’s not a fair comparison either, since MM schools would blow away Mt. View schools. But both are close to a lot of tech companies.
I know Cupertino has better schools, but Los Altos schools are quite good too. So, it’s not that far fetch of a comparison. Like I’ve been saying, to maintain the same living standard, bay areas companies would have to pay me 3x my current income. Yet, they’re only paying 20-25% more. They do give a much bigger sign on bonus though. But even then, it’s not enough.
