I would personally consider it career suicide to move to Reno since you will have few or no options to move on to something bigger or better. It will be far easier imho to increase your income in NYC such that you can save the as much or more than you can save in Reno. The potential upside in NYC is insane. There is no upside in Reno other than perhaps being close enough to the Bay Area to cultivate professional contacts there. Said another way, you will leave this startup eventually. Where do you want to be when you leave?
