<prompt> Human: I currently live in a LCOL area small town in Ohio and I make 125k plus a bonus of up 27. I feel very comfortable where I am. Yesterday I was approached about a job in NYC. The pay would be 200k plus a bonus but Im not sure about the percentage. It is a really great opportunity and could be a good boost to my career. It will also be more demanding than my current job. There hasnt been an official offer or anything, and I definitely plan to go in for an interview to learn more.I know the question will come up as to whether Im willing to move. I want to be able to answer honestly. I lived in NYC when I was young and was only making 40k 2006 ish. It was fun, but I remember money always being an issue. Im older and wiser now and would also be making a lot more, but Im still a little apprehensive about moving to such an expensive place. Would a 75k raise be worth it? As context, I bought a house recently for 100k, lease a car for 400month and have a 15 minute commute. My monthly living expenses are around 1500, plus maybe another 500 for groceriesdining out. I feel like this would triple in NYC. Does that sound accurate? UpdateThank you all so much for your ideas and comments! I had an informal interview this evening. Its definitely a lot to think about. It would be a great boost to my career and could open a lot of doors, but would be at least a two year commitment of 80-90 hour weeks. I only work 55-60 hours where I am now and barely ever work weekends. I would have killed for this opportunity maybe five years ago, but at 35, I dont know if I have the energy. I have a pretty good deal where I am now. I worry about giving it up for something that I dont know if I can do.  <response>: The real question to ask is if you want to live in NYC or not.
