Are you considering a move?
We are talking about it. My job right now is really, really awesome but the CoL is so high here all the money I'm making is basically going up in smoke. At least I own a place now so I'm not throwing it away on rent, but how I "feel" compared to what's on paper is just not there. Add to the fact that I can't even afford a place with a yard for my kids and I'm just over it. The general retardness of CA laws is just icing on the cake.
The biggest problem is that I have a job with a unicorn private pension that's in a really well-performing fund. I think you all know who I work for and that pension is the same fund as the player's pension so its safe. All of that notwithstanding, my employer is contributing 15% of what I earn a year to it, and I don't have to take anything out of my take-home. I can contribute to a 401k on top of that as well. I know I'd take a pay cut to go somewhere else, and that's ok because it would be offset by CoL, but I have to think of losing that 15% retirement as a bigger paycut. Regardless of all that, the contribution isn't fully vested until I have so many years of service and that's not until 2019 for me.
So yeah, I'm starting to put my ducks together for a move, but its not imminent.
