4k sqft 25 minutes from mountain view is probably a cool three million at least. Otoh I have saved four and a half million over the last ten years as a simple non-workaholic individual contributor at one of the big cos. So maybe it's ok?
Yeah, RE appreciation probably has paid out way more than salary in the valley. At least to the avg engineer. Stock options have done well too, but that’s more like top 1%
