I agree with what others said. It's a good place to be if you like tech. The COL is high (mainly housing) but everything can be worked around. For example, no need to spend $200 a month on cable when you can stream everything online nowadays. Like someone suggested some companies provide meals or subsidize them so you can save on food.

Working at a company like Apple or Google does wonders for your career. In the end though, you gotta do what makes the most sense to YOU. If you don't know something, ask. Other than that, you have to make the decision whether something is worth it.
