re: Even more reason to hate California - check out these Bay Area salaries

For the Facebook offer, the base pay is decent but adjusting for cost of living you could get a similar gig in a city like Houston or Dallas. The $220k offer is worth about $125k in Houston. Though that sign in bonus and stock award is pretty darn good. I've never seen anything close to that in my 10 years in Houston. Salary alone wouldn't get me to move but that benefit package looks damn good.
