> could expect around $130k - $150k
I make that working remotely from Michigan for a company on the east coast.
Costs and stress in SF will likely be substantial.
I know, I went to college in the bay area.
> Renting seems in the $3K+ range for a two bedroom
Thats like half your monthly paycheck, no? Doesnt sound safe.
Unless your wife also got an offer making a comparable amount there is no way it would be worth it. I say this as someone that loves visiting Northern CA.
You should switch to remote and leverage your skills to make at least 120k. Enjoy the good life in the Midwest and travel.
