<prompt> Human: Hi everyone, I am 25 years old and am extremely conflicted bt accepting an offer from an SF startup versus staying at my current company. I was born raised in California and without question would prefer to move back home. I have been in the Midwest for the past 3 years working at a Fortune 50 company where I am receiving best in class training on how to run a business sales, marketing, PL management, market strategy, brand ops, etc, which is my ultimate aspiration.The salary is 28k higher in SF but my standard of living would still go down. I am okay with this because I fucking love California and being near my friendsfamily everything that California has to offer is worth the increase cost of living. I guess I am afraid of walking away form the learning opportunity and scale of the Fortune 50 company. I am only 25 and I lead a 14 billion dollar business for my company. And if I stay with them, in 2 years I will be leading the NA market strategy for one of our most iconic brands which is a 2B business. This experience would make me very competitive for any top MBA school and would also provide for very lucrative exit opportunities. But that means I will be in the Midwest for another 2-4 years.The salary is honestly pretty shitty at the Fortune 50. But I am not here for the pay, I am here for the learning that I would be able to apply to my dream of starting my own company. Do I keep milking the best in class training from the Fortune 50 or do I move back home to California where I would be getting a significant salary increase, likely be happier outside of work, and also be learning a shitton about the startup side of the entrepreneurial spectrum?Any perspective you can offer would be extremely appreciated. I got the SF offer 5 days ago and Ive been running through every possible scenario in my head but an still anxious and unable to sleep.  <response>: Financially 110k in Minneapolis goes a lot farther than 139k in SF area. Startups rise and fold all the time. You also seem to have a better idea of career growth in Minneapolis than in SF. You could also try asking in rjobs or rcareer guidance or any specific subreddit catered to your career.
