I similarly got a ~25% income increase with a new job, about a year after leaving the bay area and moving back to Ohio.
I also have a ridiculously lower cost of living - my 15-year mortgage for a nice house on an acre of land is about 1/2 of what rent was in San Mateo, and about 1/4 of what I know friends were paying for apartments in SF.

- aidenn0 11y agoPlease tell me what tech jobs are available with good salaries in Ohio. Most of my friends are in Indiana/Ohio/Kentucky, my parents are in Northern Virginia (very drivable from Ohio) and I would love to be closer to all of these. However, I've not seen anything at even half my current salary (though I do like my job so I haven't been the most motivated job-seeker).
- nfriedly 11y agoWell, I work remote for IBM, but we do have a few offices in this area if remote isn't your thing. Here's my link to the IBM job site if you're interested: http://u.rfer.us/IBEiwV2J5c http://u.rfer.us/IBEiwV2J5c Before that, I freelanced which ended up turning into a full-time gig with a startup in SF that liked my work.
