I would take this deal for 1X my salary. Hell, I'd even take a pay cut for the opportunity.
- Escaping surveillance capitalism, facial recognition, pointless IoT, telemetry
- Assuming I get to work in the same industry, the opportunity to work full-time as a systems programmer on 1979-era tech
- Better weather
- More affordable housing
- Getting to live through the 80s as they happened
Even if the deal is altered so that magically the only difference between 1979 and now is the tech landscape - the first two items are compelling enough on their own.
Do you know anybody with a time machine that can hook me up?
