Another approach by Hunter S. Thompson: pick your way of life first so you're guaranteed to enjoy what you do. Then pick the gig.

I recently (just over a year ago) relocated myself and my family to the SF Bay Area. I couldn't ever explain (other than the OMG Bay Area salary/big name company aspect) why it mattered so much to me, but reading that Hunter S. Thompson letter really hammered it home for me.

Thanks for the link!

Welcome to the Bay! Yeah, thought he expressed "life is about the journey" particularly well.
