Yeah I've had a number of jobs I turned down because I simply don't want to live in the US. There's just something about the calm nature of where I live that's worth a lot to me.
There are a lot of calm nature locations in the U.S., I'm just sayin'. You won't make Silicon Valley wages, but you may still have an improvement looking in alternative city centers with varying proximity to nature: Austin, Chicago, Boston, Denver, Salt Lake City
