It's a complicated predicament. Who's the primary earner? Have you tried proposing something like, let's try it for a few months and if it doesn't work out we can move back? That way the move doesn't feel so permanent and will give her time to enjoy the Bay Area.

It sounds like you're young, treat the relocation as a temporary thing. If it's a company that's going to make your resume then I look at it as a one to two year commitment and then you can do whatever you want. I would say try and also spin the travel, explore new areas, be adventurous kind of lifestyle, home will always be there, and since you don't yet have kids I would travel explore and enjoy the heck out of whatever time you've got left.

I'd be the primary earner initially, but she works in tech as well so shouldn't have problem finding work.

Definitely will be using temporary/exploration angle in my sales pitch to her :)
