Boston.

even with $200k, u will feel like a loser in SF.

half ur salary gone with taxes, city taxes, other ways the broke city will try to fuck you, etc.

then u take ur $110k post tax and pay $50k a year in rent.

then with ur final $40k u'll be spending all on food and trying to escape ur miserable life. save $20k a year.

yeah, at least boston has normal guys (women are bad but not as bad as seattle).

seattle is an entire city full of guys where you honestly can't tell if they're straight or gay. it's really disconcerting the first time you visit.

Cupertino and San Jose are in the belly of the beast - not burbs. There is a very shallow price gradient vs location in the Bay. I rented a house in Cupertino for my kids when they were in college. It was a 1500 sq ft. tract house poorly built in the 1960's. Today houses like that are $2M if you can find one for sale. Ditto for San Jose, though it has some bad areas where you might find a slummy cheaper place. I have lived in both the Bay area and Boston. Everything else being equal and being limited to $200K I would pick Boston.

This has already been alluded to, but put another way, it is actually pretty difficult to get a job that pays this much in Boston. Salaries are quite depressed. Meanwhile in SF programmers out of ug make 120-140k.

If you're inhouse or a regular corpmo you'd be making more than virtually every field aside from biglaw and IB/mutual funds. And you'd actually be able to afford a nice house 45-60 mins from work, with a workplace culture that's generally more family friendly than SF. Moreover plenty of companies (biotech and tech usually) are in Waltham/Newton/Cambridge which cuts commute and COL further.

if you're in tech, live in Sacramento and get a (partial...like 3 days/week) remote job in bay area. You probably won't be able to find a high-paying fully remote job. Probably shouldn't buy a house though.

Otherwise just do Boston.
