What do you have to lose by trying it out? Get a job and relocate. Promise yourself to stick it out for at least a year. If you love it, stay. If you hate it, return to where you are now, with a greater appreciation for the things you missed. No harm, no foul. And if there are some aspects you love and others you hate, perhaps check out one of the other tech hubs (Seattle, Austin, New York, Denver, Boston, etc) - they each have a different flavor. Different pace. Different weather. Different focuses. Different balance. Different values.
