When i moved from FL to CA i should have asked for a few grand more for moving expenses. But all in all the salary comparisons i found on salary.comhave put me right around where i need to be. I found the state taxes a lot more then i had previously estimated but all in all it was a pretty good change. I agree take the plunge and go for it. Change is good.
