<prompt> Human: Hi,Sorry if this isnt the right place to post. This subreddit always gives great advice and I figured there might be one or two people with similar experiences here. Im 26 and I currently make 43k in SoCal. Born and raised here, all my immediate family is here, never known any different. I have a BA in Marketing, and Im a data analyst in the healthcare industry. I received an exciting job prospect for a job in the bay area that would be roughly an 18 raise with a 5k signing bonus. My first question is would this be worth moving to the notoriously expensive bay area? Despite the raise, the salary seems quite low for the area. The experience and the connections intrigue me though. Has anyone made a move like this, what were your experiences, and do you have any advice?  <response>: You will be poor. Seriously no.
