I doubled my salary over the last couple of years by moving from Seattle to the Bay Area. Unless SC would involve a much smaller hit, the cost of living there could be $0 and I'm still better off here. I'm not assuming valley rates are sustainable compared to almost anywhere in the world, but somehow they haven't ended yet.

I was getting job offers close to bay area wages from seattle when I moved down to the bay area several months ago. I think seattle has caught up money wise.
