    You don’t need to work 80 hour weeks or spend most of your income on rent.

    Just don’t buy into the SF bay area meme.

      There are large parts of the country that aren’t much better, and a lot of them are where these jobs are based. Doesn’t help that companies have become anti-WFH recently.

        Texas is much cheaper, doesn’t have STATE INCOME TAX, housing is more readily available

          Sure, Texas has less taxes. Shame about the lack of employee rights, public healthcare, public childcare, etc.
