You may make more initially, but get a few years of experience and I bet you could make more in Houston. You can live ok in Houston on 75K, especially if no kids.

From experience that difference isn't worth it. Stay in the city that would make you happy.

Everybody is different but I moved back to BR for bigger pay increase than that and I am currently doing everything possible to try and move again. I was making less in Vegas but was happier.

Good thing though is you are young (I'm guessing) so a year or two in a shitty city and can save some money isn't always bad. Easy to up and move again if you don't have wife and kids.

Take the best job...in particular the one that will offer the most opportunities/options in a few years time.
