If I'm making San Francisco dev money, is it pretty likely that I'm taking a pay cut to move elsewhere? I kinda feel like I've hacked the system a little since I've had rent control on my place for 7 years, so while the cost of living (and competitive salaries along with it) have skyrocketed in the area, my own CoL really hasn't gone up much in that time.
I'm going on a trip to Europe soon and was idly thinking about contacting a couple companies while there for ****s and giggles to see if living abroad for a little might be feasible (e.g. a video game company I like, Paradox Interactive, is in Stockholm and obviously Spotify is there too) - but I'm also a little worried that they'd be like "uh yeah we aren't like you crazy Americans in Silicon Valley, maybe we'll pay you 2/3 as much" or something.
