I have a theory about moving to SF Bay area (for work) from So Cal. If you don’t like it, you can always move back. Meanwhile, you will likely have:
MORE $$ from the sale of your residence there (IF you don’t keep it as a (lucrative) rental;
MORE $$ in your 401K acct (as a percentage of your salary there plus employer match, if any;
Your last position was likely HIGHER (due to being in the right place at the right time), so you got more experience;
And most importantly, your LAST WAGE was HIGHER, so that is NOW the benchmark on what you are worth on your next gig . . . .
Ideally, if you are Gen Y and in high tech, accept a position there as early as possible in your career.

Trying this in reverse doesn’t work out nearly as well.
