Yes, the UAV aka drone scene is exploding. As a guy with my pilot license, I’m adding on my commercial drone rating since drone pilots are also in demand.
Correct, I work for a bay area company and based as telecommute employee. Fortunately, I get a bay area salary and have lower living costs here in San Diego than the bay area. I have San Diego tech firms all the time trying to lowball me for jobs. Pay here sucks compared to what bay area firms pay. And the commute would be hell.
I wonder how engineers afford to buy a home here? A 100k salary does not compute into even a tiny 2-3 condo down payment and mortgage payment.
+1 and also a lot of developments in El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, and Lakeside. I can only imagine the hellish commute becoming Dante’s Inferno in the future on the 8 and 52!
My stocks are doing better than real estate returns and are more liquid. Plus jobs are not secure and if a bigger paycheck was offered elsewhere, its easier to do so when renting than owning. The opportunity cost of 100k is better invested right now in high growth stocks than real estate where it is sunk into a downpayment. I will wait this time and hopefully it bursts when the Fed finally decides to raise rates.
True but it is a bubble and I’d rather buy stocks and wait the bubble out til it pops in few years. It crashed before and will again once the speculators are out.
I disagree. Renting allowed me to move to Bay Area and work there a few years to rake in a lot of cash before moving back to SD. It’s way less expensive now to rent than buy. It’s another bubble.
