I'd gladly take a 15-20% paycut to leave the area but keep my job. Love the company, love the people I work with, hate this place.

I did that. I dumped my SF job and started traveling the world last November. I just picked a helluva year to start :)

Would love to hear more about this. Documenting the experience anywhere?

Only through pictures of castles and memes on Facebook.

I did this and after taxes and cost of living, I'm actually making slightly more on net.
