You know....forty years ago....all kinds of people would have been pepped-up for a job offer in the SF area. Presently? Even if you put a $250,000 salary deal on the table...what idiot would do this? Between the safety issue, degrading conditions downtown, the tax structure in the state, lack of law enforcement, and sanitary conditions....it’s a no-go situation.
I don’t see how the region can continue to operate with Fortune-500 companies. If you said I could work from home (living outside the state) and only fly in for one day per month...that’s about the only way that you’d attract people to fill jobs.
Tell ya what. I’m willing to do a job in San Francisco and I’m even willing to relocate there. The only thing is you’re gonna have to increase that salary from $250K by a factor of 10.
A couple years of that and I’ll quite of course.
I won’t consider accepting anything less to put myself through the hell of living there for even a brief time.
