I fit the bill, moved here to rent. Had a comparable job offer in North Canton, OH. This location was an hour from my home with very little traffic. Then the San Diego offer came and the salary offer was $45k more, plus way better bennies.
What helped me decide was to take the other job I’d end up moving anyway, and if I was going to leave my little comfort zone in Youngstown-Warren, why not just go for in CA. Also the Ohio job was with a small niche company, whereas out here I am with a known commodity. Even if I decide to leave here, my career is far better off.
