    If the rent exceeds 1 week pay or the quality of life is too poor, the job isn’t worth it and find somewhere else to belong has been my experience.

      I don’t disagree. Recently asked for a raise at work and next week I am interviewing for a job that would pay 10-40k more. That job would require me to move 6 hours away, though, so not sure yet.

      My highest paying skills are in GIS, with some python/coding experience but not enough for a real coding job… just enough experience to supplement a GIS job basically. GIS positions are around but seem to pop up a bit slowly.

        How is the housing market in the area of the other job? My guess is even if you took a 10k cut, your money would go further if you wanted to buy a house. I assume there are other reasons you’d want to stay in the Bay area, though.
