<prompt> Human: I hate dumb questions with obvious answers but I have one for you all. In a job for about 1.5 months. 55k in low COL area. They gave me a 5k relocation bonus that I have to pay back until I finish my first year. I hate the job, not what I signed up for, not developing skills, etc.I have a potential opportunity. 65k in high COL area but I can likely find a place with similar rent to what I paying currently. I know the company, people, and the role. Much better opportunity for the future and know even on the worst days that I will be working towards building something. If I leave by September, I will have to pay back 4500 of the bonus. I will have to do this within 90 days. And probably pay to move out of pocket too. Seems bad, but also I will be making more money. By some rough math I should be back on my feet by the end of the year. I know what I want to do but try to talk some sense into me. This is throwing money away, yes, but this is not an opportunity I can readily obtain across country, mind you with any certainty in one year. SOS  <response>: You gain 10kyear and wont hate your life. It will cost you 5k plus moving expenses. I dont see why that is not a fair trade.
