Folks who live in areas where night temperate is over 55 degrees, how do you sleep comfortably? I am used to natural air and room temperate to be around 65 degrees at night without A/C. If I move to a hot area, how do I get used to it?

You pay a ton for your electric bill each month and adapt to keeping the thermostat above 75. Lows in Phoenix are in the 80s.

OP where do you live that the night temperature never goes above 55 degrees?

If you move to a hot area, it will have AC (assuming you’re in America).

You will get used to paying 4x the electric bill you have now because your AC runs all day long

Our bedroom is upstairs and it's hot and humid where we live. If we aren't running our room AC, we have a ceiling fan and a "wind machine" (the actual name) that we put near the window. We keep the ceiling fan on high during the day with the wind machine on low, then as the temperature starts to drop later in the day we make sure the wind machine is on high and that our bathroom window is open so there's cross ventilation.
The wind machine creates nice white noise on low, on high it sounds like a jet engine, but it helps get the job done.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
