IT HAS TO DO WITH THE COST OF LIVING

Not because of gaps in your resume

Not because there are people working at Google

It all has to do with the cost of living

I spoke with a recruiter for a company hiring in Santa Barbara, she said they are having trouble finding people out there because no one wants to live in fucking Commiefornia, thats why.

$90k is near poverty tier for Cali. It's that fucking simple. silicon valley has Software engineers making $150k LIVING IN RV'S for god fucking sake.

I remember some kid fresh out of engineer school on here bragging how hes making $120k, I ask where, he says SF bay. I laugh. He's living in an RV, confirmed. That's no way to live.

It's the same thing for people out here in the Northeast, the cost of living is comparable. I won't get a job out here unless the pay is ~$140k minimum.
