You definitely should have done it for the resume and networking boost. San Francisco is expensive but you can definitely find deals the more you look for them. Plus the Bay Area is bigger than just San Francisco.
And regarding the other comment, $200K in SF is definitely better than $100K in Sacramento. More money is always better, unless it's like a 10% bump. First of all, San Francisco is just more beautiful than Sacramento. Food is better. There's more to do.
Second of all, Sacramento is getting more expensive because people are moving there from the Bay Area. It's still cheaper, but prices are growing and you don't live in a major city. People are paying $500K to live next to a cornfield.
Houses in my area (Ione, about an hour south ish of Sac) going for 550k or so when I bought, and again, an hour from the "big city" (sac isn't much of a big city compared to actual metropolis but still)
California real estate is stupid. There is literal farm land right next to expensive ass homes. Building homes is like printing money.
The weather isn't good enough to justify it, considering recent fires and the fact that you have to live in the Central Valley. Homes in hot-ass methlandia should not be that expensive.
