I came to Boston to work in a startup. I had the same exact problem as you. I was just too curious about fast paced startup life and wanted to experience this. Boston is not that better than the Bay Area (in fact fresh food and wine are more expensive than what I found in Berkeley) but it's relatively better and I have a pretty good living standard and I can save more money than I care. Startup life has been very stressful so far for me. I definitely learn a lot and it's tons of !!!FUN!!! but I'm thinking maybe in a year or two I'll go back to the Bay for a larger, more stable company.
