Amazingly enough, I and millions of other developers have managed to find jobs outside of the Bay Area.
Personally, I’ve been finding jobs quite easily 10x since 1996 - the last 2 in 2023 and last year.

Those jobs in the Bay Area mostly require you to “grind leetCode” and system design. They really don’t require you to know the latest frameworks, databases, Kubernetes, etc
