My personal experience is that I wish I’d moved to London sooner, and I wish I’d moved to SF sooner. The CoL is dwarfed by access to capital and access to the Schelling points of the global community.
This has a strange side effect: you have to be crazy to want to live in London or SF. Consequently, only crazy people live in London or SF! And those are in fact the people I’m most keen to spend my time with.
I worked as a quant trader and a ML researcher though, so my perspective is particularly skewed.
