155k in austin will get you a lot farther than 220k would in bay area. But you said its a better role for you in bay, so this is ultimately up to you, personally. You'd make "more" in austin but growth could be better in the better role in bay.

For 220k and better role I'd def go SFBA. Austin is not that cheap anymore and it's hot AF for months in summer.
