@Bill-Kindle It wasn't directed toward you, Bill. I was adding on to your comment to A.J.

@scottalanmiller So I heard! I never imagined myself living in that area, so it would have been out of my element, especially for my girlfriend. I believe I made the right choice

I had the opportunity to take a position with Kaspersky Labs a few months ago in Boston, MA. While the salary and benefits were really nice, I knew my girlfriend wouldn't enjoy that region. Not to mention, the cost of living was much higher and you have to be prepared to put aside most, if not all, your family and friend support system in favor of your career.

It can be rough, but sometimes the risk is worth it. I ended up declining the offer and found a great job in Chicago by staying put, which I start on Wednesday. So you never know...

@Bill-Kindle Seriously. If someone put that kind of effort into the finer things of life than something than something so trivial, they would be a much happier person.
