It is possible for sure. However, note that San Francisco is incredibly expensive now. So you have to really focus on getting a good salary and actually finding a reasonable place to live. Also, traffic, homelessness, etc. The reality is it isn't as glamorous as you may have in your mind.

There are a lot of remote jobs to be had. Companies like Gitlab hire all over the world. That might be another approach worth exploring. Maybe look for a remote position and see if you can relocate.

Despite what some may think there is age discrimination, I have found that Silicon Valley is still more of a meritocracy. You github/gitlab, blogs, accomplishments weigh heavily. The valley is still in high demand of talent and will pay well.

That being said, any interest in starting your own company? People often think entrepreneurs are mostly in their 20s, you will likely find that it is much higher than that: https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/youll-never-guess-avera...
