Re: Moving to California!
I worked for 9 years for a Silicon Valley company. It was the most fun I ever had, professionally. The catch, I lived in Houston while doing it.
I left because the next 'step' career-wise was a move to the Bay Area. On cost of living alone, I needed to triple my pay to make it even worth thinking about... and when you throw in the politics, the loss of freedoms, and the fact that your kids will be surrounded by nut-jobs at all times (friends and teachers), it's just not worth it unless you're making millions and can home-school.
I hope it works out for you, but I just cannot fathom it personally.
