You can luve comfortably in SF on $85k and you'll have excellent networking opportunities. Is it a good price for your skills? Only you can say.

Edit: check the benefits package. Health insurance etc. matters too.

Its a good package, basically I'm fine with this just about anywhere else but if I move near SF my housing cost almost doubles from what it is now out of state, (I have pets, fiance, etc so I can't just share a place with roommates), probably would have to commute into the city from further out using public transit

We bought a place in the East Bay recently, although you need to be selective about what neighborhoods you want to live in (well, true anywhere). The funny thing is that that from North Oakland I can be downtown in 30 minutes including walking time to BART, whereas from the sunset district (west SF, where I am moving from...slowly) it takes an average of 70 minutes.
