Do you need to commute to Seattle every day or maybe once a week or once a month? Things get less expensive the less feasible a daily commute is.

Look in all directions, North South East West. Lots of options...

This is definitely the simple answer. When I say "screw my career", I mean in terms of networking. Looking just at my commute needs, I could move to Kansas and just bank cash--I work for Virginia and will be full remote for as long as I keep the role.

That said, I'm concerned that moving to Mars would seriously hinder my ability to network into a job. I think I'm qualified, but I'm not a new grad anymore, and my 3 years of teaching are not competitive on paper with 3 years of pre-layoff MSFT.
