Ask HN: Should I stay in London or move to San Francisco?
Current designer and frontend dev here with a life changing decision to make in the next few days.
Current setup: Working for a fintech startup in London making £24k with no equity. Below market wage but I love my team and they're helping me work on my backend skills. Free training and a supportive environment.
Have a job offer for a consumer space photo sharing app in SF making $46k with 1.0% equity. Will be doing full stack dev - but unsure if I'll get the same level of support. But SF is def the place to be in our industry.
Moving isn't a hassle, but I'm torn between the two. I realize this is tough for others to comment on but any amount of insight that could help me make a decision would be greatly appreciated.
