Keep in mind that the cost of living in silicon valley is drastically higher than Colorado. You can use something like https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator/compare... to estimate the difference and it's pretty staggering. You'd probably have to at least double your salary to consider moving.

That calculator (and this argument in general) assumes you are sinking 100% of your income into dead costs, saving nothing and building up no equity. Avoid blowing that monopoly money on cocaine and hookers & you can work for five years and buy half of Ohio.
