Probably the feeling that you are in Dachang 996, save money to go to Hegang, easily buy a villa, and also bring a swimming pool and a ski slope.
Don’t you feel sour when buying a house with dimension reduction
This seems to be fashionable in Silicon Valley, said HR Christy Lake, chief of San Francisco company Twilio inc. 20% of their company’s employees have achieved long-term remote work and moved away from San Francisco.
Escape from New York
A similar story happened in New York, where the epidemic is severe.
In northeastern New York, Greenwich, Connecticut (Greenwich) The real estate market is even hotter than Marin County next to Silicon Valley.
Greenwich is about 50 to 60 kilometers away from the center of New York City, which is almost the distance from the Forbidden City to Sanhe and Dachang.
A Greenwich house was shared on the Facebook group of the ladies in Manhattan. Soon, within a day, there were 60 people who came to ask about the price of the house.
Berkshire Hathaway’s agent Mark Pruner (Mark Pruner) said that Greenwich’s real estate in March The trading volume has broken through the historical record.
His colleagues directly expressed the mentality of New York home buyers:
“Previously, New York home buyers would introduce their own information, such as how old the child is, budget range and the like; now their mentality is ‘I beg you to hurry meOut of New York’. “
It seems to be a doomsday escape, regardless of specific needs and prices, just have a house to live.
Eddie Shapiro, CEO of the real estate agency Nest Seekers, also feels this way:
“Home buyers gave up checking the house, gave up the loan to buy the house and directly paid the full amount, as long as they can quickly buy a house in the suburbs.”
His clients seem to have had enough of New York during the outbreak: “We need a house with a fence next to it.” New York property platform StreetEasy released a set of New York house price data during the outbreak:
The StreetEasy Brooklyn price index fell to $686,285, a 2.7% decrease from the same period last year. This decline is the largest decline in Brooklyn in nine years.
Note that Brooklyn is already the most core area in New York and has the most affordable housing prices.
Escape from the front line, discounted salary
However, even if you can work remotely and escape from a big city, can you have the dream of “getting Silicon Valley wages and enjoying the prices of large rural areas”?
It’s hard to say.
GitLab, the representative of the code hosting industry, has long been a telecommuting company with employees all over the world. But this does not mean that the salary standards of employees in different parts of the world are the same, but that they are adjusted in different places.
They announced a salary calculator that can calculate the basic salary of employees of different positions, levels, experience, and work locations.
For example, if you are a salesman of average level and professional growth, you can work in San FranciscoTake a basic salary of about 110,000;
But if you go to New Jersey, you can only get around 70,000;
In China, you can only get around 40,000 US dollars;
In India, you can only get more than 30,000 US dollars.
Count it, The average place is about 40% off the salary of New York in Silicon Valley.20k yard farmers who go to small counties can only get around 12k.
A GitLab employee, Michael Snow, spent a few months traveling around the globe and found that it was the coolest to stay in San Francisco: not only are there a large number of tech enthusiasts, but also the highest wages.
And the aforementioned company where 20% of the employees moved away, HR is also entangled:
Do you want to reduce the salary of remote employees? For those in Michigan, it is impossible to make a salary in Silicon Valley.
This is not just a small company’s plan, Zuckerberg thinks so too. He announced that if employees move to a lower cost of living than Silicon Valley, Facebook will reduce their salaries.
User surveys on the Redfin platform say that 27% of people will choose to continue working remotely after the outbreak, and half of them will move away.
However, Taylor Marr, the company’s chief economist, disagrees. She thinks that sooner or later, everyone will be beaten: “When Trump was elected, how many people said they would move to Canada?”
Perhaps, considering the rent/programmer income ratio, if there is no epidemic, the crowded big city of Newsilicon is actually pretty good.
Judging from the ratio of programmers’ rental income, San Francisco is still not ranked first, and Seattle is only 13%.
Just like you struggling in the north, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, congested traffic is not necessarily difficult, but the salary of three to five thousand in your hometown is a real roadblock.
