Can corroborate. And once you have kids in school and a career in one location, it's not going to be trivial to move around. Moved away from family, for work in my 20s, ended up with wife and family. But now even with remote work and the ability for me to work anywhere I want, and a kid with health issues and family could help... moving back to where my parents are (now in their late 70s) isn't a simple option. Means pulling kids from school and friends, wife from my in-laws, it's a whole thing.
Think carefully how you start your career in your 20s.
You can’t afford to have parents nearby unless they already are (as these folks have)
Everything related to families is a cash grab and a SFH in Palo Alto, Peninsula or Cupertino means throwing any hope of early financial freedom. A FAANG job will pay more but for how you can live almost anywhere else in the country, a remote job at 2/3 the salary is much much better.
