Former Bay Area tech worker here, also working remotely now from Central Europe. IMO if you are already making SF money and working remotely, you have it made.

Former Bay Area tech worker here, also working remotely now from Central Europe. IMO if you are already making SF money and working remotely, you have it made. Keep saving 10k and enjoy a more relaxed life. Your kids can learn English from youtube, duoLingo and Khan. Maybe your city has an American School or something equivalent. You have to decide if career climbing is what you really want, because along with that comes long hours, stress, likely a lot of business travel and other headaches. Personally I don't have a hard time keeping up w new tech and to fix the working alone thing I work at a co-work space. I get as much social interaction as I want. If you really want them to be in a native English environment then move to the US but not the Bay Area. cost-of-living arbitrage! You can literally live anywhere since you are already remote. The US is full of beautiful areas, just take your pick. Re: ageism, it will be the worst in the Bay Area. Other places are more open to workers with experience.
