Would not take anything less on salary beyond the difference in state/local taxes. Part of moving out of NYC is to improve quality of life and how far your $ goes. Neither of those will improve if you take less $.

In Seattle I think you would actually make an increase. I could be wrong.

the job market in Boulder is ridiculously tight (Denver is bad but not as). amazing quality of life and too many people priced out/tired of the bay area. that's to say - not a lot of jobs and an expensive housing market.

Move to Seattle! They're having a hiring boom thanks to Amazon, Microsoft, T-Mobile and a hot startup scene. Even the agencies are offering more money than I was getting in NYC because of the lack of talent. Supply & demand 💸

I've found that the agency salary margin between Denver and NYC isn't as large as you'd think.

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are.

Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
