Moved from CO to BOS basically on a whim. Was stuck in a lower paying job and just felt like I needed to start over. After a business trip to BOS, I said f-it and started applying to jobs. Got one a couple months later, packed up everything I could take in my tiny sedan, and just left. I stopped talked to 90% of my friends and only kept in touch with the important ones. Best choice of my life. Been here for a couple years and am making 5x what I was making in CO, am working in a challenging industry, learning new stuff every day, and get to work on leading tech. Most important, I get to network with inspiring and intelligent individuals, and have the freedom to do more than most. Sometimes you just have to drop everything, put yourself way into the uncomfortable zone, and figure it out - especially if you're young.
