I’m relocating to SF this summer. I’m wondering what is the minimum you think I need to make to live decently comfortable? I know rent is like double what I pay now so I’m a little worried.

There are a handful of cost of living calculators online, enter your info, and see what comes out. The specific out outputs and sources aren't anything you'd want to try and refer to for comp negotiations, but it will give you an order of magnitude you can use to decide what your base requirements might be based on your particular lifestyle.

You will most likely have to downsize from what you are accustomed to, but the trade-off is that there is so much more to see and do on the weekends and a ton more opportunity for career growth/evolution.

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?
