Yeah for real OP, are you in the tenderloin or something? If not, $1500 for a single in SF is amazing and I wouldn't hate my life at all if I were you

I did my MBA from NYU and learned very early on that unless you are in Wall Street there is no point staying in NY, unless you're in Silicon Valley there is no point going to SF, and unless you're an arctic penguin there is no point going to Chicago. Hence I picked good weather, central location and cheap living and here I am in Dallas.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
