I make roughly 80% of what I did as a software engineer in Oklahoma that I did in San Francisco. My life is exponentially better. I hate the politics here but I hated them in SF as well. Seems there's no middle ground for someone that's moderate, just extremes on both sides. My mortgage is roughly the same as a parking space in SF, and yes I have to live in Oklahoma. I'll cry myself to sleep on my yearly european vacations, rental properties, retirement accounts and working every other year at most while doing my own self funded startups.
