Thanks for your reply. SV attracts me in terms of growth and the chaos, and the ability to learn. I eventually would like to build my own startup. Having spent almost a decade in the consulting industry I feel there is confinement in what I am able to be involved with.

Quite frankly as I stated, it is not at all about the pay/living costs, rather the congregation and assimilation of talented , out of the box, progressive mindsets and charismatic individuals it has produced that inspires me to the valley.
