I'm mulling moving (back) to the SF Bay area. I am at a senior position at work(AI). Pay is a factor but more about wanting to be at the cutting edge, and change of scene. Issue is I have two kids under 10. I was doing the math for south bay area but this thread makes me wonder if SF is doable (living/employment). Suggestions about feasibility/lifestyle compromises/something else to factor in?
No comment on best places to raise kids, although I firmly believe a city (even a smaller one) would stimulate their development much more than a car dependent suburb.
Ask for no less than 200, preferably 250+ base. Live close to work, transit in the Bay ranges between somewhat tolerable to nonexistent. Check family health insurance costs carefully. Do not assume you will be able to work remote, return to office is very real. Several Peninsula cities are only about half an hour from SF, might be a good starting point that lets you explore up and down the bay and decide where you would want to settle in for the long term.
