Geez, and I thought the 40-minute communte I just picked up on my move to
Houston was bad (it was 10 minutes at my previous job).

My husband works 2/3 in Silicon Valley and 1/3 in Southern Calif. because
the cost of living up there is so expensive and housing is so outrageous!
You may get paid alot but when it takes 1 1/2 hours to travel 30 miles
because you can't afford to live close to work it isn't worth it. Most of
the companies up there buy dinner every night for their employees because
most of them don't go home til 8 or 9 pm because of traffic. Some of the
people in his office sleep on futons in their office 3 to 4 days aweek
instead of going home.
Something to consider....

Once the authorities get around to processing visa applications again, and
once the airports reopen, my employer is planning to move me from its UK
office here in Bracknell to its San Jose office for a couple of years.
Marvellous timing, I know.
Salary negotiations are beginning in earnest. Most of the Californian job
sites I can find don't mention salaries these days (surprise, surprise).
What does a competent C++ developer earn in Silicon Valley these days?
Thanks and regards,
Markus
