sounds about right.

take the bay area salary, work remote in texas/arizona/nevada because its cheaper and rationalize it by saying its the politics thats making me move.

i've had this conversation 5 times this week with friends and colleagues, and none of them have actually spent more than a week in texas/arizona/nevada.

anyone that wants to live in one of those states, try it for a couple months if you can before taking the dive.
