I recently got an offer to work in Sao Paulo, 3 days from home, 2 in office. FAANG-like company. Can't seem to make myself accept, the city is almost Gotham now

I recently got an offer to work in Sao Paulo, 3 days from home, 2 in office. FAANG-like company. Can't seem to make myself accept, the city is almost Gotham nowadays.
I live in the UK now. Incredibly safe city in the countryside. Just can't imagine myself looking over my shoulder all the time, or wanting that. Even though I'd be "well off", by our standards, which frankly are not that high.
Brazil, without being actually rich, is a major decrease in quality of life.
- DanielHB 2y agoI can see myself moving back to Brazil at some point, but I will never live in São Paulo or one of its suburb cities.
- alpaccount 2y agoI could see myself living there, if criminality lowers significantly and I don't have to commute somewhere. Anything else is a no-no.
- DanielHB 2y agoIf you can work remotely you might as well live outside but close to São Paulo. Campinas, Jundiai, Santos and Guarujá are all close enough for day trips.
