Which job offer would you take?

Is this a joke?

San Diego is nice but its not somewhere I'd like to live. I spent a week on Puget Sound a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. But that's all I've got.

SD no question

San Diego: $170,000 salary
Tacoma, WA: $135,000 salary

Should have thrown in Baton Rouge, LA: $300,000 to make it more interesting, and also to make the decision to choose San Diego slightly more difficult.

Ain't even an option.

Depends on where you'd have to live. If you can afford a house close to the coast in SD, that would be pretty awesome. But my guess is you'd be living pretty far inland even at $170k. That's no bueno. So I'd probably opt for Tacoma.

Whats the difference in pay after taxes?

I've lived in both places for a year or so each. Actually, I lived in Tukwila, between Seattle and Tacoma, but close enough.

If I had to choose, I'd choose San Diego. That Seattle/ Tacoma winter weather is depressing as f**k.

If in San Diego and wanting to experience some winter weather, it's about a 3 hour drive to Big Bear. When I was there, I went once to Palomar Mountain when they h ad snow, only about an hour drive north of San Diego.

San Diego is the place to be.
