Ali,

Is it really that bad?

Yes it is. $60,000 is considered close to poverty level here. I earn 3 times as much as I did in Houston. I live in a house 1/3 the size, and have three times as many children.

I do it for the many benefits of the region, i.e. earthquakes, traffic, pollution, and where else can you sit at a baseball game in the middle of July with mittens and a wool hat?

Is it really that bad? I recall a friend's wife
(fresh Ph.D. in CS) got a position at Intel in 1995
for $55,000. In Silicon Valley.
Is it generous enough? :)

Ali,

I am not sure who posted this but they said that gas was $2 for premium in the Valley....well if that's true, its a rip because they are paying $.25 less in LA and I can't believe that production costs are any higher for the Valley than LA.
